Everyone laughed when Princess Anne's feathered hat obscured her nephew Prince Harry's view at the King's coronation, but what most missed was the pair's warm exchange when she arrived and joked about him sitting in the third row.
While the rest of the senior royals barely glanced in Harry's direction, Anne made a point of stopping to ask him if he was OK with his seating position, to which he laughingly replied, "I don't mind," before instructing her to "sit at the front"! Onlookers might have been surprised by the warm exchange, but palace insiders say the ability not to hold grudges is one of the Princess Royal's most endearing qualities and it's why, ahead of Harry's flying visit to the UK this week, Charles, 74, has deployed Anne, 72, to play peacemaker between his warring sons Harry, 38, and Prince William, 40.
