Lessons in small talk from Princess Anne, The Princess Royal

From Sunday Morning, 10:10 am on 16 June 2024

Last year, Princess Anne was named the hardest working member of the Royal Family after carrying out 457 engagements – clocking in more than her elder brother King Charles.  

The Telegraph Royal Editor Hannah Furness went on the road with the “inexhaustible” Princess earlier this year and learned some valuable lessons.

Heads of state and veterans are due to mark the anniversary of D-Day on June 6, a date that was key to Allied Europe's eventual victory against the Nazis in World War II.
