No, role models like Princess Anne are dutiful, hard working and unselfish.
Dutiful and hard-working... she's also a selfish, pompous, entitled and humorless bitch, or so we've heard.

They are Krauts and Greeks mainly, actually the Greeks have the slang word malakas that describes you perfectly.

I wonder why the Daily Mail is always so hostile about Americans.
Really? It seems to me the British have no business making her the villain in this situation, given how some of the male royals have behaved over the decades. There's weakling Edward, giving up the throne for Mrs. Simpson. There's Charles and his pathetic mewling about wanting to be Camilla's tampon. There's Philip and his decades of boorish gaffes. There's Andrew and his relationships with underage girls.
People like Littlejohn and the odious Piers Morgan need to remember some of their home-grown scandals instead of using Markle as their punching bag.
She certainly doesn't suffer fools gladly and has the same relationship to the tabloid Press that a dog has to a lamppost.

The Telegraph's a conservative source, I wouldn't expect them to say anything bad about the royals. Here's another source:
"Princess Anne isn’t very friendly at all. In fact, she refuses to shake hands with the public and has very little patience for photo calls. As a result, she’s been nicknamed by the press –“Her Royal Rudeness.” Like her father, Prince Philip, the princess’ brash nature can often rub people the wrong way. She once gravely insulted former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s wife. According to E! News, when Cherie Blair met the princess, she asked her to call her by her first name. Princess Anne coldly replied, ” Actually, let’s not go that way. Let’s stick to Mrs. Blair, shall we?”
"In mid-January 2019, Prince Philip –Princess Anne’s elderly father was involved in a car wreck. When asked by the press about her father’s well-being Princess Anne responded nastily, “I’ve no idea, you know where I am, the same place as you.” Journalists Rebecca Hyde and Angela Mollard were horrified by the princess reaction. They told Express U.K, “Can you believe it? This is why the royal family gets such a bad rap. This is the Duke of Edinburgh’s daughter, his own child coming out with such a sharp-tongued response.”
Princess Anne is reportedly the hardest working royal with the most number of public engagements during 2018. However, she apparently hates the fanfare behind it all. In the documentary Queen of the World, she expressed her disdain for handshaking and cellphones. She said, “It’s become a shaking hands exercise rather than a walkabout. Phones are bad enough, but the iPads – you can’t even see their heads. No idea who you’re talking to. I either don’t bother or just say, ‘Look, if you want to ask…I suggest you put that down. It is weird. People don’t believe they’ve experienced the event unless they’ve taken a photograph.”

Yeh so much so that they have a US edition on their website.
She does a huge amount for charity but as I said she doesn't suffer fools gladly. As for Cherie Blair, why would anybody like that witch?
What do less visible royals do in other countries in Europe?I thought mingling with the public was in the job description of the royals so why not do it with a little grace? Actually it seems like Anne is on the same page as Harry, maybe she should resign as a senior royal.
The being a royal thing seems to be a recipe for a dysfunctional life. No goal, no real struggle, no real job, no real purpose, no sense of accomplishment. I'm surprised not more of them are alcoholics and such.
I looked at the US edition and their material is a lot different, as you would expect if they want Americans to read it.

. Wow. How do they handle all that stress?. In Sweden they do the same, perform official engagements and ceremonial duties of state.
How many other countries are there anyway?

Isn't this classic whataboutism? This thread is about Harry and his stupidity in marrying a classic gold digger. If you dislike the other royals and there's much to dislike then start another thread about them. It looks like there will be a drastic reorganisation with far fewer entitled to public money in future, which is as it should be.
