King Charles will hand Princess Anne starring role in Coronation as thanks for her loyalty
The King has handed Princess Anne a starring role for his coronation in honour of her years of unwavering loyalty. She will feature in the procession as the prestigious 'Gold-Stick-in-Waiting', a position historically handed to a person entrusted with the personal safety of the sovereign, the Mirror reports.
The siblings have enjoyed a close relationship since their warring ways as children, with Charles often jealous of Anne's closeness with their father, Prince Philip. Royal insiders revealed the King, 74, often leans on his trusted lieutenant Anne, 72, for advice and is a fan of her 'no nonsense attitude'.
"The King values his sister as a trusted lieutenant and this is the perfect example of such a relationship." As colonel of the Blues and Royals cavalry regiment of the British Army, part of the Household Cavalry, Anne has executed the role during previous state and ceremonial occasions. The King's younger sister was also a former personal ADC to the late Queen, and rode on horseback for several years during the Trooping the Colour celebrations in London, marking the sovereign’s official birthday.
