Noting that she said to Anne what she claims “everybody thinks”, Dorothea said she told her “that she is an absolute brick for the family”.<\/p>\n
Full of praise for Anne, she added: “She is working so hard, and I said, as a mother with a daughter, I have so much respect for her. She’s practical, she’s down to earth, and she’s a damned hard worker.”<\/p>\n
She also emphasised that, as a member of the Royal Family and the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Anne “has kept the family’s promise, her mother’s promise, and works her socks off”.<\/p>\n
