Princess Anne has been rated the hardest working royalty as she generally attends many more engagements annually than the rest of her family. However, it had to switch to virtual meetings when public meetings in the UK were banned during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). But she is not a fan of modern technology or social media.

The princess added that social media can make things more difficult for some younger royals like Princes William and Harry and their wives.

“There were no social media in my day, so it probably made it more difficult,” he said.

Princess Anne jokes about how long it takes Doherty to replicate her hairstyle

Princess Anne also admitted in the documentary that she watches The crown. She described the previous episodes as “quite interesting,” but has not seen the most recent ones in which Doherty portrays her. However, Anne did respond to something the young actor said about how long it takes a team of stylists to prepare her for the role.

In a previous interview with Town and country, Doherty referred to the princess’s hairstyle as a “beast”.

She said: “The makeup literally took 10 minutes, but the hair would sometimes take two hours … It’s her own beast.” I would literally sit in the chair, people would come and go and come and go and come out, and sit in the same place. But it was so necessary for her character because she felt that her hair and fashion were the way she could express herself in the confined and controlled environment in which she grew up. ”

Princess Anne joked about Doherty’s comments and wondered how the hell it could take so long to perfect her hairstyle saying, “Actually, I read an article the other day about The crown, the actress was talking about how long it took them to comb their hair like me. And I’m thinking, ‘How can you take so long?’ I mean it takes me 10 or 15 minutes. “
