King Charles attends Parliament reception after Princess Anne casts doubt on his plan for a ‘slimmed-down’ monarchy Jon Rogers
Anne was asked if there are "conversations about relevance", and she replied: "There will be, everywhere. It's not a conversation that I would necessarily have."But I would just underline that the monarchy provides, with the constitution, a degree of long-term stability that is actually quite hard to come by any other way."deals with recent polling which suggested a drop in the percentage of people who want to see the monarchy continue.
"Well, we don't in many respects need to deal with it, not least of all because it is the monarch that is the key to this, and the constitution that underpins the monarchy," she said. "We as a family see ourselves there to support that role. What we do, we hope, contributes to the monarchy and the way in which it can convey continuity, of not just interest, but of service, of understanding, the way that people in communities want to live their lives.
"And I think so often we get the chance to see communities and the people who do things really well and are very generous with their time in a way that, if you look at the media, you tend not to get that impression," she said.
