Princess Anne leads by example as her powerful plan revealed
Princess Anne's life away from official royal engagements is quiet and peaceful, a celebrity who lives near her home revealed. The Princess Royal lives at her 'happy place' Gatcombe Park, a large working farm and estate in Gloucestershire, England. Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, a TV personality who lives nearby in Siddington on the edge of Cirencester, gave fans a rare insight into Anne's love for travelling via trains. He shared that the Princess Royal was spotted at their local station, Kemble, on several occasions. "I’ve met her on the train quite often – yeah, we’re on kind of nodding terms. She travels with a few burly but super smart military types, all very, very unfussy. No one bats an eyelid – we’re all used to her," he said. Laurence also revealed that Princess Anne's children, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, are also regular visitors. In conversation with Hello! journalist Ailsa Anderson talked about Anne's possible future plans, and those are quite inspirational for the young royals. "She does not pause for breath. Think about how many other 76-year-olds are putting their feet up and watching TV, and she just carries on. "It's all about duty. She inherited that sense of duty and service from her parents. I don't think the word 'retirement' is in her vocabulary," Ailsa said.
