Princess Anne has reportedly expressed full support for King Charles following Prince Andrew’s announcement that he would surrender his royal titles, a move that has divided royal watchers and analysts across Britain.
While many commentators praised the King for persuading his younger brother to relinquish his titles, others criticized the Palace for allowing Andrew to present the decision as voluntary.
“The King’s decision to allow Andrew to ‘own’ this announcement and pretend this is his choice could be the biggest PR error by the Palace since Diana,” journalist David Yelland wrote on X, warning that the optics could worsen as Charles visits the Vatican to meet Pope Francis.
A royal insider said that Princess Anne, long regarded as the monarchy’s most dedicated working royal, “fully supports her brother’s decision and the institution he represents.”
The source added that Anne believes Charles was right to act decisively to protect the monarchy’s reputation amid lingering controversy surrounding Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Though known for maintaining neutrality between her nephews, Princes William and Harry, Anne’s stance in this instance appears clear her loyalty remains firmly with the Crown.
