In reports from New Idea, it appears Prince Charles is in a bitter sibling feud with his little sister Princess Anne.
WATCH! Prince Charles escalated sibling feud with CRUEL nickname for Princess Anne’s husband.
According to royal insiders, Anne, who is fourteenth in the line of succession, was left thoroughly disappointed to learn that her brother could take over the throne in as little as two years’ time – a role she believes she could carry out with more grace and warmth.
“While Charles and Anne respect each other and get on well, they have never been close,” reveals our insider, adding the pair’s troubled relationship began from a young age and intensified in adulthood.
“They were born two years apart and when young they were brought up a lot of the time by nannies because their parents were stationed in Malta, leaving them in England.
“Anne was a much stronger character, and still is today, and even bossed Charles around, though he was older. She was a bit of a tomboy while Charles was sensitive and slightly weak.”
She has always been a much more practical person and takes after her father, very much ‘getting on with it’.
Recently voted eighth most popular royal, just behind Charles, Anne has been described as a “strong and committed” member of the family – a major turnaround from how the public viewed her in the ’70s and ’80s.
“Anne was the black sheep of the family and didn’t endear herself to the press or public who saw her as arrogant and aloof,” says the source.
And while she will never be the reigning monarch, the princess is said to simply want the recognition she deserves and more patronages as her mother heads towards retirement.
