Princess Anne sat down for a rare interview, sharing candid details about her brother, Charles, the muted enthusiasm for his coronation and the uncertainty about the monarchy. | News24Arts

Charles III, who became king upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September, will be crowned before the world at London's Westminster Abbey on Saturday, 6 May.

In the run-up to the celebrations, Princess Anne, however, is addressing conversations about the monarchy's relevance.:"I think it's perfectly true that it is a moment when you need to have that discussion. Alongside a huge security operation throughout, it is predicted to run into tens of millions of pounds.The 1953 coronation of Charles' mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, cost £912 000 in 1953 – £20.5 million in today's money.

Charles' sister, who will take up a greater role within the firm moving forward, maintains, however, that the king is"committed" to his subjects."You know what you're getting because he's been practising for a bit, and I don't think he'll change."On Charles' proposed slimmed-down monarchy, as questions about the relevancy of the royals come about, she adds the idea arose"when there were a few more people around".
