But one of the most unique took place at Sandringham House in 2000 and was revealed in the diaries of the late society columnist Kenneth Rose when they were published after his death.

Even before his reign began, King Charles' plan for a 'slimmed-down monarchy' was made clear as he hoped to decrease the vast number of extended royals who appeared on Buckingham Palace's balcony and just have the working royals front and centre. He has certainly achieved this - perhaps even slightly too well.

Platinum Jubilee Pageant in June 2022.The soap opera star, 90, recalled the awkward yet funny moment in her recent memoir, “Behind The Shoulder Pads.”Collins admitted that she was so nervous that she broke protocol during her meeting with the Princess of Wales, 41.During last year’s pageant, the English actress was riding in a car down The Mall during the bash alongside supermodel Twiggy and TV presenter Prue Leith.“Finally, we arrived outside the Royal Box, which was packed with royals and relatives of the Queen,” the “Dynasty” alum wrote. She continued: “As we descended from the Jaguar, trying to look presentable after two hours in the freezing wind, Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo [Mapelli Mozzi] waved at us excitedly.”Collins recalled that Mozzi “nudged Princess Anne, who nudged Prince Charles and Camilla, and they all waved, smiled at us, and mouthed, ‘Well done!’ Very gratifying indeed.”Following the procession, she was filed into the green room behind the box and was able to take a beat.

It means we relate to them more.” Princes William and Harry are also willing to pitch in, and Harry presented Meghan with a three-course dinner for her 39th birthday in 2019.

hardest working royals around — but she wasn’t given the honor of being Prince Harry’s godmother at his 1984 christening.In turn, the 73-year-old opted to miss the holy event at the time. But why did the Princess Royal decide to skip the momentous occasion?It started when she asked her big brother King (then Prince) Charles to be a godparent for her first child, Peter Phillips, in 1977.Charles, 74, obliged at the time but in 1982, when his first son and heir Prince William was set to be baptized, Anne was not picked to be godmother.Royal author Robert Lacey penned in his book Battle of Brothers how Charles reportedly “did not return the compliment when it came to William.”“According to [a] rumor, [Charles] had very much wanted to invite his sister, only to be blocked by his wife [the late Princess Diana].”Lacey claimed that Anne was irritated by the Princess of Wales, especially whenever her name came up in conversation.A palace source had told Lacey for his book that Anne often called Diana “The Dope” and how her sister-in-law seemed to get much of the limelight despite undertaking less royal engagements than her.“Anne made her feelings obvious on the day.
