Princess Anne Is Still the Sassiest Royal Around, and These 7 Facts Confirm It

What's not to love about a royal so self-deprecating that they admit on camera that they have always been "the backup?" Anne talks openly about going on tour as a teenager with the queen and Prince Philip to learn how to be a fully fledged royal. Charles was in training, too, and Anne admits, "You always assumed that they weren't cheering us." In fact, she describes her role as taking up the slack. And she admits that it was "much harder than you think." She clearly got the hang of it quickly. Anne, at 68, is still the busiest member of the royal family, year on year. That's the kind of backup everyone needs.
