Princess Anne Should Take Over Major Royal Role Instead of Prince Harry and Prince Andrew, Says Biographer
Royal biographer Phil Dampier has suggested that Princess Anne should take over a major royal role currently held by Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.
The Councillors of State positions are held by the Duke of York, Prince Charles, and his sons William and Harry, but two out of the four who hold the positions are no longer working royals.
In a tweet to his 14.2k followers, Mr Dampier wrote, “So wrong that Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are Councillors of State.
The law should be changed so that Princess Anne becomes one.”
Princess Anne is known for her tireless work ethic and has been praised by royal fans as inspirational and a credit to the royal family.
Several fans have taken to social media to express their support for Princess Anne taking on the role, with some calling for the removal of Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.

One user wrote, “Princess Anne and Prince Edward would make great Councillors of State.
They are dutiful, loyal to the monarch, the UK, and Commonwealth.
There are no two better candidates.”
Royal biographer Angela Levin also backed the demand by retweeting a post calling for the removal of Prince Harry and Andrew as Councillors of State.
This comes after Harry renewed the lease on his £2.4m UK home, making him eligible to serve as one of the Queen's four Councillors of State because he is domiciled in Britain.
However, American royal expert Kinsey Schofield believes that Harry's legal challenge against the UK government is a sign of him adopting an American attitude.
“This our way or the highway and this is a situation where Prince Harry, the people that are mentoring him and working with him throughout some of these issues.
They are Americans and they don't understand the proper way to communicate and they don't understand that element of respect,” Schofield said.
Security expert Richard H also spoke about the costs of personal protection officers for royals, estimating that the cost for a Metropolitan Police officer is around £100,000 a year.
“What may appear as a wish on paper is far more in reality, and the costs can certainly be quite huge,” H said.
In conclusion, it remains to be seen whether Princess Anne will take on the major royal role currently held by Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.
However, the suggestion has gained support from some royal fans and biographers, while others have raised concerns about Harry's legal challenges and the costs of personal protection officers.
As always, the royal family will continue to be a subject of fascination and debate for many people around the world.
