Royal staff reveals name of ‘most nicest Royal'

Princess Anne is lauded for her generosity and humbleness ahead of the 70th birthday.

The Princess Royal, who is often branded the ‘hardest working Royal,’ is appreciated for her understanding personality.

"She's a gem. Truly one of the nicest and most hardworking of them all," her chief protection officer told Vanity Fair.

However, Princess Anne, once admitted that her determination often makes it difficult for her staff to work out the practicalities of her orders.

"I make their lives more difficult in terms of the logistics, I'm afraid, but if I’m going to be in London, I don't want to be hanging about.

"A lot of stuff goes on here, so there’s a question of filling in the time. I'm fortunate that the program that I make up is a direct result of being asked to do these things. It would be a pity if you didn't try and do them," Anne explained.

Meanwhile, John McLean, the chairman of one of her patronages, tells the outlet: "She's had me in stitches over some very naughty jokes.”
