Princess Anne’s Dedication to the Royal Family Sparks Calls for National Day of Recognition
Princess Anne, known for her tireless work within the royal family, has garnered support for a national day to celebrate her contributions.
A recent poll conducted by Express.co.uk revealed that two-thirds of readers back the idea.
As the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Anne has been a devoted member of the royal family since the age of 18.
Roya Nikia, Royal Editor of the Sunday Times, has proposed a national day of voluntary service to honor Anne's commitment.
During an interview with Times Radio on March 8th, Nikia described Anne as the “best queen we'll never have.”
She emphasized that Anne intentionally avoids media attention and prefers to focus on her responsibilities without seeking recognition.
Nikia highlighted the impact of Anne's recent public appearances during the 14-day mourning period following the Queen's passing.
The journey she undertook with the Queen from Balmoral to Edinburgh and then from Scotland to London drew widespread attention and admiration.
This exposure shed light on Anne's understated presence, prompting many to recognize her quiet yet significant role within the royal family.
Express.co.uk conducted a poll from March 14th to March 16th, asking readers whether there should be a National Princess Anne Day.
Out of the 1,077 respondents, 67% (720 people) expressed their support for the idea.
Meanwhile, 31% opposed the notion, and 2% remained undecided.
The accompanying article generated numerous comments, with readers sharing their thoughts on the proposal.
In 2022, Anne participated in 214 royal engagements, solidifying her position as the hardest working member of the royal family.
Notably, she accompanied her mother's coffin during the funeral procession, describing it as an honor and privilege to share her mother's final moments.
Anne also made history as the sole female participant in the Vigil of the Princes, standing alongside her brothers King Charles III, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward.
The overwhelming support for a National Princess Anne Day reflects the admiration and respect that the public holds for Anne's dedication and service.
The proposal aims to emphasize the importance of voluntary work, aligning with Anne's own values and priorities.
By recognizing her contributions through a national day, it would provide an opportunity for the public to express their gratitude and appreciation for her selfless commitment.
