Princess Anne, the King’s no-nonsense sister, has a set of rooms here. You might think she lives in a stable given her horse obsession, but no, it’s a proper apartment. She’s famous for shooing photographers away and once told a kidnapper to get lost (literally, “not bloody likely”). Living at St. James’s means she can pop over to the office without getting stuck in London traffic, which is probably her second-biggest pet peeve.
Don’t expect to see her baking cookies. Her days are filled with 700 official engagements a year. She probably treats the palace like a very elaborate changing room between polo matches and charity dinners. Honestly, she’s probably the only person there who knows how to change a tire.
