Princess Anne has proven she’s inherited the famously quick, sarcastic and biting wit for which both of her parents were renowned. While the late Queen Elizabeth II’s sharp wit was something of a well-known secret – with Her Majesty rarely liable to slip up her stoic demeanour in public – Prince Philip’s gaffes and quips are stuff of legend. Princess Anne’s recent engagement saw her make several quippy one-liners – even at slightly unconventional times – proving she can put people at ease and create a relaxed bond.
- Princess Anne left officials suppressing their giggles during a (mostly) solemn recent public engagement
- When visiting the graves of fallen soldiers, Anne was shown one who died drunkenly trying to pull his own tooth out, to which she replied, drily, that the fallen sergeant had found the “ultimate painkiller”
- In other royal news, who did Kate Middleton blow a sweet kiss to from the Royal Box at Wimbledon?
