### Princess Anne’s Candid Remarks on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Unveiled

In a recent interview, Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, didn't hold back when discussing the monarchy and its future, particularly in light of the departures of certain royal family members.

Her comments seemed to hint at her true feelings regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, revealing a blend of skepticism and concern about their roles within the royal framework.

When asked about the concept of a streamlined monarchy, Anne's response was both pointed and revealing.

The 74-year-old royal, known for her straightforward demeanor, subtly took aim at Harry and Meghan, who stepped back from royal duties in 2020.

Despite being one of the few royals seen chatting with Harry during events like the King's Coronation, Anne has largely remained tight-lipped about the couple since their exit from royal life.

During her conversation with CBC earlier this year, Anne addressed the idea of reducing the number of senior working royals.

She remarked that the decision to slim down the monarchy had been made before several senior royals resigned, implying that such changes were not merely reactions to recent events.

“I suppose the monarchy was slimmed down at a day when there were enough people present to make that look like a reasonable statement,” she noted, suggesting that the rationale behind it might not be as sound as intended.

Her comments didn't stop there.

Anne expressed doubts about the wisdom of the current trajectory, stating, “From my vantage point, that doesn't seem like a smart idea, to be honest.”

This candid assessment raises questions about the future of the royal family and how it adapts to the changing landscape of public perception and internal dynamics.

Interestingly, royal analysts have suggested that Anne had always been aware of Meghan's limited time within the royal fold.

Neil Seen, a seasoned royal commentator, revealed that a reliable source indicated Meghan and Princess Anne never quite hit it off.

This lack of rapport may have contributed to Anne's perception of Meghan's role as transient.

It appears that Princess Anne attempted to guide Meghan early on, offering her some sage advice about the nature of royal duties.

According to insiders, Anne emphasized that being a royal is a job requiring commitment, punctuality, and a genuine engagement with responsibilities.
