Princess Anne, 74, has spoken warmly of Queen Camilla, offering heartfelt praise for the vital role she plays in supporting King Charles.

In a candid conversation with Tatler, the Princess Royal expressed her deep respect for Camilla and the impact she’s had on the monarch, now 76.

Anne’s unexpected comment

Anne shared her thoughts on Camilla’s quiet strength, saying: “Her understanding of her role and how much difference it makes to the King has been absolutely outstanding.”

She added, “I’m sure lots of people do say to her what a difference she’s made, but that is really true.” Describing Camilla, 77, as “incredibly generous and understanding,” Anne made it clear how much she values her sister-in-law’s presence in the King’s life.

A partnership that stands the test of time

Charles and Camilla recently marked their 20th wedding anniversary during a state visit to Italy.

Their relationship, which spans 35 years, has endured many milestones—from Charles’s accession to the throne and his recent cancer diagnosis to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Throughout it all, Camilla has been a steady, supportive presence.
