Princess Anne made bold decision to skip major milestone due to her love of travel

Princess Anne is a world-traveller, jetting off all over the world to make public appearances on behalf of the Royal Family. However, it was in her teenage years that the Princess made the bold decision to prioritise travel.

Her older brother, Prince Charles had already decided to pursue his education by studying at Trinity College, Cambridge.

This was a very esteemed move for the future king, however, it was not one his younger sister hoped to epilate.

In the 2020 ITV documentary “Anne: The Princess Royal at 70,” she revealed that in her opinion travelling the world alongside her mother would be far more educational than packing up and heading to university.

Anne said: “So many of my contemporaries, when asked why they were going to university, would say, ‘Well basically because that’s what you do.’

While Prince Charles achieved a 2:2 grade from Cambridge, and Anne’s younger brother Edward further earned a 2:2 from Cambridge, Prince Andrew did not go to university either.

Instead, he joined the Armed Forces.

Though the Princess may have been a young girl when she made this decision, it is clearly a perspective she still holds today.

Alongside her brother Prince Charles, the Princess Royal is one of the busiest members of the Royal Family when it comes to appearances and engagements.

These tags typically show whom the suitcase belongs to, as well as where it is going.

According to reports, Princess Anne is said to travel with a green baggage tag that displays her name.

The Prince of Wales, meanwhile, has a red one.

Queen Elizabeth’s luggage is tagged with a yellow label that simply reads: “The Queen”.

Prince William, like his father, has been assigned red in the past, meanwhile, his son Prince George has been given a blue tag.
