Princess Anne shares Queen's wicked humour and uses jokes as 'backhanded compliments'

As the Royal Family have been attending events to mourn the loss of the Queen and welcome King Charles III as the new monarch, the public have been able to see more of Princess Anne - and the similarities she has to her late mother.

A body language expert recently commented on how the 72-year-old Princess Royal has been channelling Queen Elizabeth II with her stoicism and "stiff upper lip", remaining strong as many of her relatives shed tears and grieve their loss. And while she certainly has become a pillar of strength for her family, Princess Anne is also said to share a much lighter quality with her mother - her wicked sense of humour.
