Privacy NoticePrincess Anne is known for her quirky antics, such as donning chic bucket hats at high-profile events like the Olympics. She’s also proven to have a great sense of humour. The Princess Royal recently made a comeback to the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) after an unfortunate horse-related injury. A few years back at an event, she was told she ‘doesn’t look royal’, to which she humorously responded to the youngster: “Thank goodness for that!” The anecdote was shared on The Royals with Roya and Kate podcast, where the hosts discussed the comment made to Princess Anne during an event for young riders and children.

Since suffering a concussion from a horse incident in June, Princess Anne has resumed her Royal duties, as the Princess confessed that she doesn’t “remember a thing” about the incident. One of the hosts of The Royals with Roya and Kate podcast shed light on the incident, saying: “I spoke to someone very senior at the RDA who remembered her coming to see a display by some children at an RDA event and the children that we work with as volunteers at the RDA have all different levels of learning disabilities, different levels of autism, physical disabilities and there was one girl there who was involved in the display and they came to meet Princess Anne afterwards.” “And she was introduced to her and [they] said ‘This is the Princess Royal’ and she said ‘You don’t look like a princess’.” Sign up to OK’s royal newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for free

“Princess Anne said ‘Thank goodness for that, I’m so pleased to hear that.’ Everyone laughed at her response and she just literally takes things in her stride.” Michael Bishop, Chief Executive of the RDA, expressed his gratitude towards Anne, stating: “As our President, The Princess holds a very special place in the hearts of the entire RDA community and has helped us celebrate many significant milestones and provided invaluable support for over five decades.” “The princess was on super form. It was lovely to see her again. She was very engaged while talking with all the volunteers and participants and there were a few quips thrown in, too.” “She was very switched on and recognised many of the volunteers because she had met them before,” he concluded.
