Princess Anne 'even closer' to King Charles since Queen's death and his birthday gift could carry 'enormous emotional significance'

A composite of King Charles and Princess Anne at the Braemar Gathering 2023 and a roundel of Queen Elizabeth at Trooping the Colour 2022.

Princess Anne is one of King Charles's most loyal supporters and he could choose a particularly special gift for her 76th birthday on 15th August. The siblings are less than two years apart in age and former royal butler Grand Harrold believes that although they've "always" been close, their bond strengthened after losing their mother in 2022.

"In my view, they've become even closer since the death of Queen Elizabeth," he claimed. "They were both with their mother during her final days, and they've shared the enormous responsibility of carrying on her legacy. Charles clearly values Anne's loyalty and unwavering support."
