Princess Anne said the Covid lockdown robbed her father Prince Philip of social interactions before his death in a rare glimpse of the royals’ view on the pandemic’s restrictions. The Mail has more.
The Princess Royal revealed her thoughts around the toll the social distancing rules had on her family and others during an interview with Canadian public broadcaster CBC, released just five days before the King’s Coronation.
She said lost conversations would have kept Prince Philip “interested”, adding that the “switch to online” didn’t work for everyone.
“Covid stole from my father, who lost a lot of the people who would have gone to see him and come and talk to him and have those conversations that would have kept him interested. He lost all of that,” she said.
“I’m sure that there are lots of families who will tell you the same thing. For the older generation, losing those contacts – online didn’t do that for everybody.”
The Princess Royal also spoke with sadness about the defining image of her mother alone in grief at Prince Philip’s funeral, amid pandemic social-distancing rules.
Asked if this was a “thievery”, she said: “Yes, you’re quite right. In some ways I’m glad we didn’t see that, at that moment. When you see the photograph it’s much worse somehow.”

The photo and Princess Anne’s comments are a small insight into the inhumane treatment of human beings by the psychopaths who run Western governments, civil service, and particularly Big Pharma.
My heart aches for the multitudes whose lives, and deaths, were impacted by the unnecessary rules, mandates and restrictions.
At the time obviously these images were seen as good publicity for the warmongers:
‘Look everybody, even the Queen has to antisocial distance at her husband’s funeral.’
Now they can be seen as a stark reminder of the depravities foisted on the population.
Not exactly in their favour any more.
Are you watching Bozo?
I wonder if she did it deliberately… to make a point she couldn’t make openly?
Nah.. don’t you remember.. she was pushing the jab and associated guilt if you didn’t get it..
I’d like to ‘read in full’ but it won’t open for me: it says “about: blocked” and has a red dot.
The first link (first paragraph) works. Second link is apparently an error.
‘Asked if this was a “thievery”, she said: ‘Yes, you’re quite right. In some ways I’m glad we didn’t see that, at that moment. When you see the photograph it’s much worse somehow.’
So very well said.
That image isn’t going away; says it all about the venal, mendacious, incompetent bovine idiocy of Bunter, the well named Hancock, the Gumby Brothers, Prof. Pantsdown and that whole unsavoury crew, backed by the bunch of hand wringing cowardly no hopers running the obsolete, bloated, out of touch and hopelessly inefficient national health service of this country.
It is also a thunderous indictment of the spineless subservience of so many of the British people.
Yes.. and all for an alleged killer virus with a 99.7% survival rate.. a HOAX.. and they knew it from day one.. and probably well before that. Liars – charlatans the lot of them..
Well yes, and the spineless subservience of the majority of citizens of rich world countries, and the unsavoury people running all of their governments, in lockstep – and this applies to countries with relatively efficient health services.
” If you ever wondered how and why millions of ordinary decent people just stood and watched as Germany descended into Fascism – you do now”.
And the sheep think we’re better than the Germans.
LOL.
Annie is a top bird.
Steady on, she’s still a bloody Windsor.
Jeez Hux.. that made me laugh..
Thank you.
Mountbatten-Windsor….but, technically, historically, would have been Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
She is and personally I wish next week it was going to be Queen Anne…
I like Anne. I’ve always liked her, despite her being a ‘royal’. She’s always come across as a straight talking, no nonsense person. Far better than her brothers, IMO.
For the record, I won’t be sat at home – or anywhere – swearing allegiance to her brother during the coronation. Nope, definitely not.
Any chance we can do a swap and get her on the Throne in Saturday instead of that spoilt, dull-brained nitwit?
She could perhaps ‘identify’ as being the king. Seems to work for everyone else who
pretendswants to be what they clearly are not!COVID didn’t steal anything from anyone. The mindless cruelty of the compassionate and kind[*] pandemic politicians, experts and profiteers did that.
[*] We’re soo sorry that we have to hurt you! But it doesn’t hurt much, don’t you agree, and it’s for the benefit of others! Take this times the number of people who got hurt and it’ll turn out that – strangely – no others would could have benefitted are left. COVID propaganda always adressed individuals – Look him in the eyes and tell him …! – who were asked to make small sacrifices, so it was claimed, It’s just as mask!, for the benefit of some silent majority. That’s a clever trick because in reality every member of the population was indivdiually sacrificed and thus, no one benefitted.
Exactly..
This whole point of the now iconic, artfully composed image of the former Queen sitting frail and all alone in St George’s Chapel for her beloved husband’s funeral was to underline both the necessity of coronavirus restrictive measures (in this case social distancing and mask wearing) and the royal family’s self-sacrificial acceptance of them.
Just as Princess Anne’s comments in fact comprise complete support for the tyrannical Covid measures rather than any sort of anti-lockdown dissent:
“Covid stole from my father, who lost a lot of the people who would have gone to see him and come and talk to him and have those conversations that would have kept him interested. He lost all of that,” she said”
‘Covid stole’ rather than ‘fraudulent and oppressive lockdown measures stole’.
Looking at big picture stuff the historically unprecedented attempt to introduce a medieval / North Korean element to the imminent coronation in the form of a mass public oath of allegiance to ‘King Charles III’ (who has already made use of the coronavirus ’emergency’ to support the worldwide launch of a communistic ‘Great Reset’, one which also revolves around the inherently totalitarian and mass impoverishing ‘Net Zero’ agenda) is deeply sinister, indeed there are the genuine makings of an anti-democratic monarchist coup.
Having said that it is important to remember that both ‘Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change’ Green delusions and interconnected ultra-health obsessions (eg that a flu like illness requires shutting down entire societies) are very widely held.
In other words (as always) these are an ideological and practical rather than personalised issue.
Great post.. you said it far better than I could..
I shall always think of her as a very worthy Queen Anne II (unfortunately lost by us, because her brother was born first).
It was not only Queen Elizabeth who was forced to sit alone when attending her husband’s funeral service. Many, many other families were forced to follow the lies and nonsense made up by governments. Who made up these cruel rules. Whoever did should be serving time in prison for lying to the public. Shame on the government and its advisors who made things up as they went along during the covid debacle. The data was available regarding risk, had been since the beginning of the plandemic. Dr. John Ioannidis made it available for every single person on earth. The question is why did governments around the world choose to ignore his data
And these are the same class of elites pushing the net Zero insanity and the great reset, ESD, open borders and all the other dreamed up programs all funded by your tax dollars.
The royal family failed in their duty to stand up for us and they should have set an example by ignoring the dictatorial government.
