Why Princess Anne Was Accused Of Feuding With Charles, Diana After Skipping This

Princess Anne was once accused of feuding with Prince Charles and Princess Diana after she refused to do one thing for their son, Prince Harry.

In 1984, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip opted to go shooting with her ex-husband, Mark Phillips, in Gloucestershire on the same day as Prince Harry’s baptism. Rumors swirled that Princess Anne deliberately skipped the occasion after she was snubbed by the Prince and Princess of Wales as their son’s godparent.

Royal correspondent Ashley Walton said that things only became worse after Princess Anne found out that Prince Andrew had been chosen as one of Prince Harry’s godparents.

“Her displeasure grew into a full-scale family row when she learned that her younger brother Andrew was to be godfather to 3-month-old Prince Harry, while she was again omitted. The Royal Family confidently expected Anne and Mark to arrive yesterday for the 11 a.m. ceremony, but as the baby was being baptized, the guns were blazing 100 miles away from Gatcombe Park,” she told Express.

According to Walton, Prince Philip was also annoyed with Prince Charles’ decision to not include Princess Anne on the list of Prince Harry’s godparents. Rumors swirled that the Duke of Edinburgh stopped talking to the heir to the throne following the incident.

Prince Charles and Princess Diana didn’t also pick Princess Anne as a godmother for their eldest son, Prince William.

Meanwhile, Prince Charles and Princess Anne didn’t always get along well with each other. Even though they were born just a few years apart, their personalities were quite different. Prince Charles was a softy, while Princess Anne was more like her dad.

“Charles and Anne are always civil with each other, especially when they’re around the Queen or in public, but the reality is they’re not close. There have been whispers about their ongoing feud for many years now,” a royal expert said.

The same source added that Prince Charles and Princess Anne are like chalk and cheese.
