“I think I will best remember him as always being there, and a person you could bounce off ideas, but if you were having problems you could always go to him and know that he would listen and try to help.” - Princess Anne
Rest in Peace, Prince Philip | 10 June 1921 - 9 April 2021 ♡

“Her advice generally about life has been invaluable. Whenever we may have got slightly above our station she’d be the first one to bring us back down to earth.“ Peter Phillips
“I look at her and just think if I was going to be a mother, that’s what I would want to be like. I would like to be as good a mother as she has been to us.” Zara Phillips
Happy Mother’s Day, Princess Anne ♡
July 2022 When your Board of Trustees and Senior Management Team come to visit your site, you’ve got to make them smile and feel welcome!

She definitely doesn’t get enough credit. People go on and on about Diana modernising the monarchy- and she did in a lot of ways- but Anne was the one who didn’t want her husband to have a title so her kids could live a normal life. She’s the one who was in the Olympics and showed that royals could have talent and a profession (outside the army) as well as royal duties. She’s the one who handled her divorce gracefully and didn’t damage the monarchy. She’s the one who rides a damn horse in military uniform alongside her brothers because she isn’t going to stand on a balcony and watch everyone else. Her husband can do that. She’s a bad ass. I think she changed royalty for women in a big way.
‘For a long time, I put sailing (for pleasure) to one side, but when my seagoing time in the Navy ended, I came back to it. It took me a long time to find a wife who loved it as much as I do!’

Is there any more story about Philip's children with Princess Alice? I'm curious about the stories of their grandmother's and grandchildren's interactions.
• “When at Buckingham Palace, Alice doted on Philip’s children, Charles and Anne. They both profess considerable affection for her. To Charles Alice used to say: ‘Punctuality is the prerogative of Princes.’ The Prince of Wales recalled: ‘She used to come and lunch with us in the nursery, I remember. We were terrified if we were late. She was very strict.’ She did not discuss religion with either of them, nor ever mention her favourite Schuré book, Les Grands Initiés. ‘I remember her lecturing me about the power of the brain,’ recalled the Prince of Wales.
The Princess Royal did not regret the fact that Alice was not ‘a cuddly granny’. She was a little alarmed by her in early years, because no one, not least Alice herself, had explained the deafness. Therefore she would come and see her grandmother in her rooms on the second floor of the palace (rooms which she later occupied), finding her in a cloud of smoke – ‘I’ve known a few worse, I suppose, but not many’ – and have to gain her attention. Later, when she learned how to talk to her, they established a good rapport. To both grandchildren Alice told fascinating stories about Queen Victoria and the past.”
• “Alice was in London, staying with the Queen, while Philip was away on a two-month tour of South America. Charles welcomed a visit from his Greek grandmother, especially as she often brought stamps from Greece. He once wrote to her with a request for a postcard. He asked that she ‘pretty well fill up the card with stamps and not worry so much about the writing part’. These were good for swapping at his prep school, Cheam.
Charles was recovering from an operation to remove his appendix, so Alice paid him frequent visits in hospital, sometimes taking Anne and Andrew with her.”
• “For a time she travelled about much as before, spending weekends at Windsor Castle. It was the time when the royal family all got to know her best, including the Queen, who was particularly good to her. Charles and Anne were often at the palace or at Windsor and invariably looked in to see her. The small princes were taken to her rooms to play. When they were very small, she had alarmed the children with her deep voice. The Prince of Wales told his valet that as he grew older, he came to appreciate ‘her sense of fun and lively mind’. Alice was pleased that Charles played the cello, since Andrea had done so in his youth.”
• “In London Andrew and Edward played in Alice’s room after breakfast and lunched with her every day. ‘So nice for me, who am so lonely in Athens,’ she wrote. Young Edward used to run in and jump on his grandmother’s bed. Halma was a favourite game.”
• “It happened that Anne had not paid her usual visit to Alice on the day she died. She therefore asked the undertakers if she could go into her grandmother’s room and see her. ‘I am glad I did that. She looked very peaceful. All the lines in her face had gone and for the first time I could see the resemblance to the de László portrait.’”
This one though. Princess Anne’s last words for her Yaya was beautiful yet heartbreaking.
Everything is from Alice: Princess Andrew of Greece by Hugo Vickers btw. It’s a good read :)

A Royal day at our Wellington Roastery!
Last Thursday Her Royal Highness Princess Anne paid us a visit and indulged in her passion for coffee by roasting her very own Havana coffee blend!
As we stood around the coffee roaster and discussed the recent devastating events of Cyclone Gabrielle, ideas brewed.
We’re proud to announce that we’re launching a Special Edition coffee blend, personally crafted by HRH herself - The Princess Royal Cyclone Relief Blend.
All the profits from this blend will go towards supporting the victims of Cyclone Gabrielle through The Red Cross.
So while you sip on this delicious brew, you’re also helping kiwi’s in need.
Follow the link in the bio and get yourself a bag today!
