The King's sister has long been one of his most supportive allies

Princess Anne is said to be watching out for her brother King Charles, as Prince Harry’s bombshell interview continues to make waves.

The Duke of Sussex’s interview came just days before the Royal Family gathered to commemorate VE Day in London on Monday.


Anne joined the King and Queen along with the Prince and Princess of Wales, their children and other royals to mark 80 years since the end of World War Two in Europe.

After observing a military parade, the Royal Family moved to Buckingham Palace’s balcony before thousands of subjects to view a magnificent RAF flypast.

Watching the scenes was body language expert Judi James who observed Princess Anne “chatting to her brother in a strong display of unity” throughout the family’s balcony appearance, she told The Mirror.

The expert noted Anne reaction when the King appeared to be motioning for the others to retire indoors before the anthem had been played.

Anne was seen to “pat him affectionately on the back” to return the King to his correct position so he could take part.

“It was a gesture that suggested Anne is quietly keeping an eye on her brother,” James deduced.

She added that the balcony scenes “could hardly have been more timely” given the recency of Prince Harry’s divisive interview.

“Royal balcony moments always show the Firm at their highest status best, standing in a position of ultimate power as a strong family unit while looking down on the massed crowds of their subjects, all cheering wildly to show their support.

“This confident, stoic appearance suggested high levels of the kind of resilience that the Royal Family are always known for,” the expert declared

Prince Harry’s sparked outrage in the royal world speaking candidly to the BBC after suffering legal defeat at the UK Court of Appeals.

The Duke of Sussex had been attempting to reverse the downgrading of his and his family's security detail after he and wife Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals in 2020.

In the explosive interview, Prince Harry claimed his father King Charles “won't speak to me” over the security dispute.

In a particularly controversial moment, Harry conceded he did not "know how much longer my father has left" - in reference to the King’s ongoing cancer treatment.

Despite his bold words, the Duke also admitted he was seeking to repair his relationship with the Royal Family.

"I would love reconciliation with my family there's no point in continuing to fight anymore, as I said life is precious," the 40-year-old said.

Prince Harry also revealed he had "forgiven" his family members.
