News Update: Princess Anne, who is getting older, calls Princess Meghan the “old fox” and talks candidly about Princess Kate Middleton’s future in this hilarious video: “Who Will Fit in Best—the Future Queen 👑?”

The second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Princess Anne is no stranger to living life in the public eye, and all the difficulties and constraints that come with being a member of the Royal Family.

Despite all the challenges she has faced herself, she has made an honest admission about why life as a royal has been much harder for Kate – the Princess of Wales – than it ever has been for her.

The 73-year-old Princess Anne puts this difference down to a couple of things, one being age and the other big factor being the advent of social media, which she thinks has made things much more “difficult” for younger royals like Kate and her husband Prince William.

For a documentary released to mark Anne’s 70th birthday back in 2020 – called ‘Anne: The Princess Royal at 70’ – she made these comments about how life as a royal has changed for the younger generation.

She said: “The pressure that is applied to the younger members of the family, it’s always worse. That’s what the media is interested in. That’s hard sometimes to deal with. But there was no social media in my day, and it’s probably made it more difficult.”
