Princess Anne Frustrated by William's Royal Approach

Princess Anne, approaching her 75th birthday, reportedly remains frustrated with Prince William for not sharing more of the routine royal duties at Windsor Castle, despite his proximity. Anne continues to handle the majority of investiture ceremonies and is recognized for her commitment, having quickly returned to duties after suffering a serious concussion last year and completing 474 engagements. Sources say Anne is especially annoyed by William's lighter workload as she shows no signs of easing her commitments. William, meanwhile, has expressed a desire to modernize the monarchy by focusing on impact, philanthropy, and empathetic leadership, which marks a generational shift in approach. This difference may be fueling some of Anne's irritation, as she values visible, ongoing royal engagement. Nevertheless, Anne remains fond of William and is expected to support him when he becomes king.
