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.
