Princess Anne could take on the royal responsibilities of Prince Harry and Prince Philip, according to reports.
It is believed the Queen will reward her only daughter, 70, with the honorary titles as she “commands the respect of the armed forces”.
She is also considered the “hardest-working” member of the Royal Family, Thomas Mace-Archer-Mills said.
The founder of the British Monarchists Society added that she is married to the “military man” Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence and her “no nonsense” attitude is “what the military is about”, the Daily Star reports.
He told the Daily Star: “Princess Anne is very happy where she is: she’s not one for fuss, just like her father.
“She’s time after time considered the hardest working member of the Royal Family.
“It would be a shock if she was not at least given the opportunity to decline some of those patronages that have opened up.
“She is no nonsense, duty, to the point, she’s not one for small talk, she tells it straight and that’s what the military is about.
“Her very demeanour is very good for the patronages that her father had.”
