PRINCESS ANNE THE QUIET ACHIEVER

KING CHARLES' SISTER TAKES THE CROWN FOR BEING THE HARDEST-WORKING WINDSOR

- Kylie Walters

There are few members of the Windsor clan today who continue to pay heed to the old family adage of "never complain, never explain". But Princess Anne remains the exception, as she always keeps calm and carries on. Despite weeks of scandal resulting in the removal of her brother Andrew's titles, the Princess Royal isn't one to hide behind palace walls. Instead, the 75-year-old is maintaining her heavy workload, which includes making an official visit to Australia.

The sister of King Charles is Down Under until November 11 to attend events celebrating the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals as part of her role as its colonel-in-chief. Anne has held this honorary role within the army since 1977.
