Educational gap in Princess Anne: This doesn’t happen with Queen Elizabeth II
However, the Princess Royal did not seem familiar with the custom, being the sister of King Charles III. It was clearly written on his face. After rising again at 1.82 metres, Princess Anne could not help but take the rugby legend aside and inquire about the meaning of his action. Queen Elizabeth II was seen in vain for such an educational gap with Princess Anne’s mother: the Queen, who died in September 2022, was a guest in Fiji several times during her 70-year reign and She knew the traditions there in detail. It is hardly surprising, then, that the Queen’s face did not slip when soldiers from the South Pacific sat down in front of her and bowed their heads.
