Prince William Recalls Terrifying Memory of Princess Anne at Balmoral

Prince William recently shared a funny and slightly terrifying memory involving his famous aunt, Princess Anne.

During a special recording of Mike Tindall's podcast, “The Good, The Bad and The Rugby,” Prince William, alongside his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Princess Anne, reminisced about their summers spent at Balmoral.

The Royal Family reunited at Windsor for the podcast recording, and amidst the laughter and revelations, Prince William opened up about growing up with his athletic aunt.

He described the experience as both thrilling and terrifying, highlighting the competitive nature that runs in the family.

Princess Anne, who was the first royal ever to compete in the Olympics, revealed that she used to jockey with a young Prince William at Balmoral.

While many aunts might have let their nephew win, Princess Anne didn't back down.

Prince William described her speed and the look on her face as absolutely terrifying.

This exchange between Prince William and Princess Anne sheds light on the competitiveness within the Royal Family.

It seems that this trait is not exclusive to them, as Mike Tindall, Princess Anne's brother-in-law, admitted that he and his wife Zara are also super competitive as a couple.

Whether it's playing tennis or any other activity, they always strive to outdo each other.

James Haskell, co-host of the podcast and former professional rugby teammate of Mike Tindall, then called out Prince William and Princess Kate for their competitive nature.

Kate jokingly responded, denying any knowledge of where it came from.

However, she did admit that they have never been able to finish a tennis match, turning it into a mental challenge between them.

It seems that the competitive spirit is being passed down to the next generation as well.

When asked if Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis were picking up on this trait, Princess Anne shared that they are indeed showing signs of competitiveness, albeit to a lesser extent.

Sports aren't the only area where the Royals try to one-up each other.

It is famously known that the family has been banned from playing Monopoly due to the intense rivalry and heated arguments it sparked in the past.
