Princess Anne will be taking a leading role in the Coronation this weekend, with the King's sister acting as "personal aide-de-camp" riding behind Charles and Camilla on horseback following the ceremony.
Often credited as being the hardest working Royal, Princess Anne carried out 214 engagements last year, the Mirror reports. But when it comes to furling her busy routine, the Princess Royal is said to follow a similar pattern to the King when it comes to skipping lunches.
Reports suggest she fills up at breakfast to get through long days of visiting places and meeting people around the country - but one aspect is said to be out of the ordinary - the way she eats bananas

Breakfast
Princess Anne is said to start her day with a bowl of fruit, according to Palace staff. With reports suggesting she prefers them to be overripe and even going mouldy.
Darren McGrady, a former chef to the royals, previously told TODAY: "Princess Anne almost always preferred the bananas almost black - over ripe - because they digested easier."
Brown bananas are typically much sweeter because all the starch and chlorophyll in the fruit has broken down into sugar.
Royals traditionally always eat with cutlery, meaning Anne won't eat hers the traditional hand peeled way.
Chef Darren explained: "First, the ends of the banana are cut off. Then the banana peel is sliced down the middle from end to end so the unpeeled fruit can be opened.
"The fruit is sliced into circles and eaten with a fork."
Lunch
Due to the fact she is usually swerving lunch, Anne is said to store fruit rations in her handbag. Her daughter, Zara Tindall, once revealed: "She always has a kiwi fruit."
Princes Anne is also known to enjoy kippers - and once sent a complimentary letter to Fortune Kippers, a 140-year-old celebrated smokehouse based in Whitby, North Yorkshire.
The company's website reveals: "Members of the Royal Family have also been known to enjoy our kippers and HRH the Princess Anne has written to Barry and Derek telling them how much she enjoys their kippers."
Much like the late-Queen, Princess Anne is known to be fond of afternoon tea, although whether she takes cream or butter with her scones yet to be made known.
Dinner
Reports suggest Princess Anne's favourite dish for dinner was revealed when she guest-edited an edition of Country Life magazine for her 70th birthday in 2020.
Anne's perfect meal is devilled pheasant - and the Ritz's Executive Chef, John Williams, shared the decadent-yet-simple recipe,
John explained: "Basically, a couple of whole pheasants are poached, then taken off the bone, shredded and kept warm in the poaching juices.
"You just add freshly whipped cream, left in the fridge for an hour to stiffen, mixed with a good amount of Green Label mango chutney."
