[@timothyj1966]

In the last Year - I my respect for Anne has really grown. She comes across no nonsense but takes her duties to Crown seriously. Something about her late Mother in her for sure.

[@sps7959]

She is a perfect combination of her mother and father. Dutiful, respectful, and no-nonsense!

[@doorschick89]

The Princess Royal looks lovely. The dress was unexpected, I've only seen her in uniform, or functional outfits, I had no idea she could be so beautiful. What a class act.

[@sarahweir4037]

Fabulous figure always has 🔥

[@doorschick89]

@Nana I love her no matter what she wears. She wears her uniform like she was born in it. So Regal. I just had no idea how stunning she is, when she wants to be.

[@sallybyrd3712]

Princess Anne always dressed lovely when she was younger and re-wears a lot of her clothes from younger years. She could do something about the brown blotches on her back if she is going to wear a dress with a low-cut back.

[@marlenalinne]

​@Sally Byrd You could do something about delivering left-handed compliments, too. She was probably born with her brown spots and, quite frankly, I didn't even notice them until you HAD to point them out. But your left-handed compliments came to you later in life and it appears you were taught (and learned) well.

[@stephanie4949]

My thoughts exactly!

[@noelborden8787]

No one curtsey's like the Princess Royal--so professional.

[@vadec5909]

Omg!! Princess Royal is so respectful!! Its so nice to see respect is still part of society. Its what is missing now a days

[@mantabond]

Respect is mostly upheld by the upper classes, thus tradition.

[@vickieconomou5608]

Indeed. Something Markle can learn from. Latizia doesn't come anywhere near Princess Anne and yet Princess Anne did curtsy because Latizia has the rank of Queen.

[@mantabond]

[@juliescase5105]

A wonderful woman who has done her family proud. I have always admired The Princess Royal, no nonsense from her ever.

I could watch the Princess Royal curtsey all day. A true royal. Like her mum xo

Princess Anne and Admiral Lawrence know how to follow protocol to the tee. Lovely to see them doing events such as these.

Not to forget what an assett we have in Vice Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence.

[@annerector8765]

You said it!!! He's the stuff!

[@deborahc.9869]

Both Princess Anne and her husband Timothy are dressed impeccably for this event. Now this is what a Princess does and wears and her manners along with her husband's are spot on.

[@Godisrealandgood]

Princess Anne is looking so radiant and regal....love her professionalism to her royal duties.

[@calikiwi]

Such an incredibly hard worker, she looks resplendent and beautiful! I’ve always been an Anne fan! She was stunning in her youth and such a go getter! The king and Queen of Spain are such a stunning looking couple as well!!

[@MyMagical1]

The Princess Royal is a great advocate for the BRF and U.K. She respects the Spanish Monarchy and shows that by her wonderful curtesy. Good to see Sir Tim alongside his wife. I don’t know why people have a problem with showing respect. It’s to the institution not the individual. 🇬🇧

[@anyaw340]

It's not about her respecting the Spanish monarchy. All royals everywhere are expected to bow/curtsy according to their rank, no matter which countries are involved. When William and Catherine were recently in Jordan for the wedding of the Crown Prince of Jordan, they bowed/curtsied to the King and Queen of Jordan. It's expected in the royal world worldwide.

[@MyMagical1]

@@anyaw340 So, respect whether they are compelled to curtesy or not doesn’t come into it at all? 🤔

[@lourdesgreen2213]

More of Princess Anne!!

[@eggy4152]

It doesn't matter what Princess Anne wears she always looks amazing, but that style of dress was absolutely a knock out. Her husband would of been thinking that's my wife. Princess Anne looks a younger version of her late mum. 👋💕🇦🇺

[@marthaanderson2967]

Agree ! the dress oozed femininity & grace .

[@borleyboo5613]

I absolutely love The Princess Royals dress. It’s stunning.

Princess Anne is by far the best and most genuine Royal. SHE is always "just herself"!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nightingalecat]

Princess Anne perfectly unites feminism and femininity. What an iconic woman. I also wish I could age as gracefully as she did. Not many men can ride a horse like its nothing being 70 + years old.

[@user-ox1uf9gi4g]

[@dorisrapino8694]

What a figure she has.

[@mchapman1928]

She’s a champion equestrian. She curtsied to the King and Queen of Spain. She knows protocol. She’s pure class.

She is awesome! She knows what to do and when to do it! Some others could take a que from her! ❤

And THAT, dear Duchar*e of Sussex, is how you curtsey. NOT as a court jester, in medieval times, with an inane grin on your face! This is PURE class, sophistication, elegance, dignity and respect. No wonder D of S had such trouble with it!! You can put a fancy title on someone, but they can still be as common as muck, imho!🤔

[@zothilenna7902]

This comment took me out😂, nice one.

[@anyaw340]

Oh, please. People like you prove Megan's point every single time you open your mouths about her on a subject that has absolutely nothing to do with her. Megan is American. Do you REALLY think she's cares about the correct way to curtsy?? You sound silly. She only ever curtsied because it was expected of her. The concept of curtseying is COMPLETELY unnatural to any American. Be glad that she did it at all!

[@anyaw340]

Also, I would hope that Anne knows how to curtsy, given that she literally grew up in that world. When you are the child of a Queen who has been trained in these things since birth, knowing how to appropriately curtsy or appear graceful in formal environments is NOT an accomplishment. Anne has been curtseying and appearing at elegant events since she was a baby - because her mother was a Queen! Megan grew up in the REAL world - in an entirely different country. She had to focus on things like supporting herself, education, and her career - not how to appropriately curtsy!

[@thekingofmoney2000]

The King of Spain and Queen Elizabeth are cousins through Queen Victoria and Christian IX of Denmark. King Felipe is a descent of Queen Victoria through both of his parents, and a descendent of Christian IX of Denmark through his mother Queen Sofia, who was born a princess of Greece. He is also closely related to Prince Phillip, who was born a prince of Greece. There are a lot of familial connections between the British and Spanish royal families.

[@anyaw340]

Almost all of the European royals are related - especially via Queen Victoria, who schemed and planned many of the royal marriages that led to her being dubbed the "Grandmother of Europe". This is well-known information. Even the Queen and her husband, Prince Phillip, are related.

[@overcomerbtbojesus]

So interesting to see that the british royals are still so close to the spanish royals going all the way back to many Spanish princes and princesses having married into the RF in the past

[@lesleyanne5341]

Mmmm no, there hasn’t been a Princess from Spain marrying into England since poor Katherine of Aragon in 1509 married Henry V111. A granddaughter of Victoria’s, Princess Eugenie of Battenberg married king of Spain in 1906 but that didn’t turn out very well.

[@overcomerbtbojesus]

@@lesleyanne5341 good grief i wasn’t talking about the present! i’m aware of that - catherine is the most well known spanish princess to marry into the RF but you do realize there were some who married a few of the medieval plantaganet kings when you go back several centuries and are you forgetting that katherine’s daughter queen mary married prince phillip of spain- doesn’t matter how long its been the connection was established and still exists
