Yeah she was definitely a target during the 80s. I think a lot of the royals were. It was a very critical time for most royals other than Diana. I think now people are too scared to say anything about her but she has also just kept her head down and kept on with her work since marrying Tim which we respect.
In the 80s the media was pretty negative about Princess Anne, calling her “awkward Annie”, and then her affair with bodyguard Peter Cross, the American press called her the princess “Britons loved to loathe” in 1987, and by 1989 (when love letters from Tim to Anne came to light after being stolen, and handed over by the Sun to Scotland Yard, and confirmed by Buckingham Palace) people knew she was cheating on Mark with Tim, who was one of the queens Equerries.
