Princess Anne to get starring role in King Charles' Coronation due to her loyalty
Princess Anne has been given a starring role in the King's Coronation in honour of her loyalty over the years.
While Charles and Camilla will ride in the traditional Gold State Coach back to Buckingham Palace, Anne will lead the larger procession featuring 6,000 armed services personnel. Royal insiders also shared that Charles often leans on his trusted sister for advice and likes her “no nonsense attitude”.“He is rewarding the Princess Royal for her loyalty and her unwavering devotion to duty above all else.
The role of Gold Stick, which is only demonstrated on ceremonial and state occasions, is held jointly by the Colonels of the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals - both being Regiments of the Household Cavalry of the Household Division. Anne was also a former personal ADC to her late mother the Queen and for many years was seen riding on horseback during occasions such as the Trooping the Colour and to mark the sovereign’s official birthday.
