The British royal family has faced unexpected twists and challenges since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Princess Anne, the Queen’s only daughter, is expected to make a great Queen due to her commitment to duty and her no-nonsense approach.

However, for Anne to become Queen, an unprecedented series of events such as multiple abdications or major constitutional changes would be highly improbable.

The royal family has already slimmed down without Charles’s interference since 2019, with Prince Andrew stepping down due to his controversial friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Prince Harry and Megan Markle stepped back as senior royals in 2024, moving to California.

Prince Charles performed 372 engagements, followed by the Duke of Edinburgh, Sophie, Richard, Queen Camila, Prince William, and Edward.

Queen Camila completed 182 engagements, while Prince William carried out 97 appearances. The Duke of Gloucester carried out 98 appearances, while Edward Duke of Kent carried out 97.

Prince Anne will remain an everpresent royal family figure as 2025 continues. She recently admitted to not having any memory of her tragic horse incident and visited Helen Atkin Group in Buckon, a writing therapy for disabled children and adults. Royal Duty fans have praised Anne’s bravery and determination, with one admiring her as a gem of the royal family.
