Princess Anne stepped up by taking more workloads when the Queen had to slow down due to her health. The Princess Royal even worked more than her brother, Prince Charles.
Princess Anne Took More Extra Work For The Queen
The Princess Royal is one of the most active senior royals. Princess Anne, 71, changed her diary and added 13 investitures since July. Her total workload is significantly higher than Prince Charles, who only took six. Meanwhile, Prince William did three, Express reported.
The princess updated her diary following a backlog of investitures due to the coronavirus pandemic. A palace source told the Telegraph that the Queen's only daughter "enjoys investitures and meeting the recipients."

Princess Anne is also popular among the recipient of honors. Broadcaster Lorraine Kelly was among those who received honors at Windsor Castle for her career and charity work and she was happy to receive the accolade from Princess Anne, saying the event was "extra special."
"She loves Scotland and supports Scottish rugby, very visibly with her tartan scarf on," Kelly said. "I think she genuinely loves Scotland and that was really nice and we just talked about that."
When asked about receiving the honor, Kelly said, "It was fantastic."
"It's been really good. It's been a beautiful day. It didn't rain, which was rather lovely," she added. "And I was so pleased it was the Princess Royal, Princess Anne. That made it even extra special."
