Princess Anne Reveals Heartwarming Nickname for Brother King Charles III

In a heartwarming revelation, Princess Anne, known for her tireless work as a royal, shared a delightful nickname she has for her elder brother, King Charles III.

The endearing moment took place during the recently-aired BBC documentary titled “Charles III, The Coronation Year,” which offers an intimate look into the king's life during his last 12 months leading up to his impending coronation.

The documentary, which aired on Boxing Day, provided viewers with a captivating exploration of the monarch's life, with a particular focus on the monumental coronation year.

In one touching scene captured on X (formerly known as Twitter), Anne surprised her brother as he prepared for the grand day.

Walking into the room, she affectionately greeted him with the sweet moniker, Old Bean.

The genuine joy on the king's face reflected the close bond shared between the royal siblings.

Amidst laughter, Charles warmly took his sister's hand, expressing gratitude for her visit.

The clip also captured Anne checking on her brother's well-being, emphasizing their deep connection.

Presumably filmed on the morning of the coronation, Anne sported her Blues and Royals uniform, symbolizing her role as the Colonel of the Blues and Royals in the Household Cavalry Regiment as Goldstick.

In a rare interview with CBC News, Anne explained that the uniform resolved her wardrobe dilemmas, stating, “So that is a role I was asked if I'd like to do for this coronation, so I said yes.

Not least of all, it solves my dress problem.”

This insightful comment sheds light on Anne's practicality and her commitment to fulfilling her duties as a member of the royal family.

Body language expert Judy James, in a previous discussion with Express.co.uk, highlighted Princess Anne as Charles's close confidant.

Despite occasional conflicts, described by Anne herself as “fights like cats and dogs,” the bond between them has evolved into a deep friendship.

Following their parents' passing and Charles's upcoming coronation, this friendship appears to be a source of gratitude for the king.

The documentary not only chronicles the significant events of the coronation year but also reveals the enduring affection and connection within the royal family.

It offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of the royals, showcasing the strong sibling relationship between King Charles III and Princess Anne.
