Oh dear, Anne's in the dog house again.

I'm quiet sure she doesn't mean to be rude, it just comes out that way. Her 'leaving as soon as possible' was probably her 'gently' letting her hosts know that she was scheduled out of there - perhaps something had come up and she had to reschedule quickly - so don't invite her for tea and cakes, please. I think it's just that she gets bossed around all the time by her family and the myraid of aides she has to suffer, and it erks her, as she said to the guy who foldled her boobs (grabbing her under the arms to help her up) she is quiet capable of sorting herself, she would probably have expected and accepted a hand on her shoulder asking if she was ok, and offering a hand, no more. She is, after all, exceedingly fit and agile for her age, putting many teens to shame. She ought to be abe to handle it better, yes, I agree, but we don't know the half she has to suffer and it's not often she let's her guard slip, we hear little of the times she gets it right.

I met her husband, Mark Philips, at the Gothenberg Horseshow in '75, via Anders Gernant, the Swedish equestrian commentator, and Philips said she had hell getting permission to compete in horse trials, let alone abroad, she was never allowed to live a normal life by her parents and the QM. 'If only people knew of the quiet courage she has shown in getting this off the ground,' he told us. 'She would love to live a normal life, to not be a Royal, but they'll never let her.' Gernant knew Anne well, and quietly suggested to us when Philips wasn't there that it went far deeper than that, that Philips himself wasn't happy about being so close to the Royals, that he had been forced by family pressures to marry her. Nobody else wanted, or dared to, he bruskly told me. 'Anne is the sweetest girl you'd ever meet,' he told me, 'I'd love to have her as my daughter. The Anne you hear about, the one with the tongue and the ridingcrop, isn't the real her. It's the pressure she's always had to live under, she's reacting as any human being would.'

We mere mortals cannot know what it is like to be a Royal, so I think we should cut Anne a little slack for the odd faux pas, probably not intended anyway.

I so agree. Princess Anne has always behaved impeccably despite huge pressures, managed to survive divorce, brought up healthy, well-adjusted children and still attends so many finctions she'd probably rather not be at. She always appears interested in those she's speaking to and can be forgiven for politely pointing out that she doesn't need to be wrapped in cotton wool and manhandled - that doesnlt happen to her in other parts of her life so why should it when on public display? Why should she be patronised? I think she's perhaps the most 'normal' royal we have and a true national treasure.

Dear Sir/Madam
The interest we have in Princess Anne is entirely speculative as to whether a certain mythological role can be fulfilled. That be the Revelation ' Woman with the Moon at her feet and dressed in the Sun'..
To meet the requirements of this role the affiliation of the person require to be international not only British. Since this will involve too many official functions it must be decided what the function of royalty realy is. I would say that they are popularizers of relevant issues.
In a manner they are the equivalent of modern ' saints'
Now in order to be a ' saint' you must solve a common problem in terms of your life in a meaningful manner to be a ' model to society'.
But the private life of Princess Anne her inner thoughts are inscrutinable and the 'royal writers' portray her in such a kindergarten manner that make her look unappetizing. I wonder whether there is not deep in the person of Princess Anne a more lusty character than the ' Loyal Duty' role that she fulfill.The clue to this be her numerous amorous attachments as well as her teenage escapades( I think she even attended Oh Calcutta and was seen on stage after the show ). It is a matter of speculation as to whether her curlishness could not be explained by a deep down desire for a different way of life with more abandonment ' more spontaneous involvements rather rather than by ' duty'
Why is this speculation important?
You see to be a saint you have to show people that ' life is worth living' and that you can make a contribution to society whilst enjoying your life.
Theoretically you have to popularize new religious thinking...Music videos could be an entire ' royal function' since that change the mindset of people it enters their ' Inner Being'
The problem be that we have very little insight into the ' Inner Being' of Princess Anne and therefore she remains ' Distant'
A Saint can never be distant. People must have access to his/her Inner Being. Luckily you no longer require to appear on a stage. A music video will do..that is if you are musical...
These are just vague thoughts that I have. You see my interest be as to whether the Biblical Myth be implementable...if the Royals do not implement it as their mandate as ' Dragons' be , the artist can ,though he/she anly earn the mandate by default...
Sounds insane but these are my ruminations...the more distant the person the more the speculations...

Since there is no further comments by ' real royal watchers' I would like to venture another speculative opinion.
The ' British Identity' is coupled to the idiom of Royalty. The definition of Royalty is coupled to the implementation of the Biblical Revelation.This function is international.The inability of the British royalty to implement their 'true identity' ,leads to a disaffiliation of the youth and disengagement from religious identification.
The problem with the 'image' of British Royalty is their identification of ' salespersons' of matters ' British' rather than the transcendent fulflilment of their Biblical ' Mission'. The lack of this fulfilment has international ramifications. The lack of the fulfilment of the Mythological Implications of ' St George and the Dragon'...will have negative consequences as the British national identity is based on an unimplementable myth.( The New Jerusalem song..)
Royal activities are therefore substituted by British Branding Exercises estranging implementation due to lack of cooperation on international players as well as boring comittee -bureocratic engineered statements.
Such activities can only demotivate the person . I wonder whether Princess Anne known for here spritely nature when she was younger does not suffer from this ' British Malaise'. This also affects Africa where people fear to question their rulers...
Post Scriptum: I am not 'Unbritish' My jopb be that of physician, to diagnose disease.
Therefore : Anne under these circumstances you are excused!!!

The video of Princess Anne visiting Antartica is fantastic. !!!
Now that she has visited the ' Virgin Territory' physically the next visit should be to visit the ' Virgin Territory' of Molecular Evolution. For this she will require some tutoring.
A good start is at Kings College dr_sbanerjee@hotmail.com
Preeclampsia is a Royal Issue and the Key.
That is if they want to Ride the White Horse.
Fantastic Viewing and the type of issues that the Global Community can get involved in.
Preeclampsia is the Millenium.

Dear Sir/Madam
I would like to inquire as to the purpose and ' ownership' of this website.It is obvious that several ' hard salemen : utilizes the royal 'name' in order to advertise their websites (like Getty Images)This is not the case in this website.They have Nothing to Sell.
Well that Royal Sublime Nothing is the Divine SUNYATA is which Events are just Calender Images in the Void. Human existence demands Creativity in order to Fill the Void ( the Old Testament I AM )
The website include images of a person most likely Prince William embarking on a horse ride ( not the white horse still vacant)
What point does the website proove or try to demonstrate?
The only conclusion of the ' evidence delivered' be that the Royal ' Change the Guard' is a hollow ceremonial and the hard evidence be that the Biblical Revelation is Dead'
At least some consclusion was reached from the evidence presented.
This evidencewas furthermore supported by the lashing of the Dog subsequent the Pheasant was already Dead by Prince Edward thopugh denied by Buckingham Palace is the Presence of Timothy Leary? and other male Royals.
This lashing of the Dog is a Symbilic Act representing Reality.
Thank you for compiling Evidence in such an evocative manner ( archives and monsters)
In the event of frivolous divertion from more relevant matters I enjoy a Visitation of the Wensite of the Sublime Calerder Events.
Yours Truly and ever Loyal Royal Oberserver

Honorable Sirs/Madams
Since I seem to be the sole person interested and contributing towards this website I shalll have to Keep It Alive.
Allow me some speculations as to the Pewson of Princess Anne.
The Person of Princess Anne is not symbolically represented in her Name since many woman may bear the name of AnneMary for example.The Person of Princess Anne is Dual . There is a personal humainity thatr only her husband and relative and perhaps some friends are aware of. We are not involved i n this 'hidden person' since we do not have any access to it.
The Real Person of Princess Anne is alike that of the Queen a type of Statue of Office representatiove of Certain Symbolic and Statutary Office. This ROYAL PERSON is embedded in our own minds since we have this knowledge within ourselves. Therefore the Person of Princess Anne is embedded in Our Own Self and we can contractually engage in Her Persob viqa a Stutue Identiofied as representative of the Office of Her Person.
She therefore are not required to attend so many afficial functions since the a Glorious Statue of Dedication to the Stature of HER OFFICE wil suffice.It be my suspicion that the Order of Garter is based on the same premises, namely that the Queen Marries ' Beast' in the Stature of Her Office' rather than in 'Flesh'.
The Biblical injunction that ' the Word must become flesh' is no longer valid since there are no persons walking in the Nude and therefore the contractural ' consummation in the flesh' is outlawed by Custom.
The Person of Princes Anne is best represented by a fictition novel of her Office since her Person in Flesh is inaccewsssible along with the personal ruminations in her mind.
Therefore this website should be engaged in the Mythological Person of Princess Anne as represented by a suitable Stature of her Person and this Stature should ideally be in the Nude in order to allow for a More Biblical/Mythological acceptance of the Person of her Office.
I hope that my suggestions will fall on sympathetic ears and minds and must apologize for the excess of enthusiasm that the Imageinary Person as Represented in Mythology as representive of Princessw Anne has embedded in my Mind.
One would even be able to compose Songs/ Poems/ and Novels dedicated to the Person of Princess Anne as represented by her Stature.
That lead us to the question? be there any official statures of Priness Anne preferentially in the Nude that could be utilized to popularize her Person?
Kind Regards

Honoarble Sir
Hewreby I withdraw and erase all statements as made undewrf my named in this website as nonexistent.
I was unable to erase the statements which are of no relevance since the Mythological Subject of Discussion Is Dead.
The sole purpose of the discussion was to ascertain the Death which is nopw fully confirmed.
Therefore I request that all statements and ruminations as expresswed by myself be to no Non Existant.
