This is one of the most STUNNING videos I’ve ever seen
I’ve long paid a certain amount of attention to fashion, makeup, hairdos, that sort of thing. And so when I noticed a short video on the fact – stop the presses! – that Princess Anne had changed the hairdo she’s sported for over fifty years, I clicked on it. I was expecting maybe a short do, something a bit more modern, but I have to say that I hardly noticed any difference whatsoever, the change was so minor and subtle and underwhelming.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. In general the Royals adopt a look and stick with it. I don’t think Queen Elizabeth changed her hairdo during her entire reign.
Anyway, here’s the newly-coiffed Anne. The clickbait title given the video is “Princess Anne’s hair change STUNS the internet.” I suppose it depends on what the meaning of “stun” is:

Anne in 1985. In addition to the long hair, the dame thinks on her feet well.
She’s showing her age in her face, in a way she hasn’t before.

Thanks for the interview of Anne. Impressive indeed.
I don’t think Queen Elizabeth changed her hairdo during her entire reign.
Perhaps they’re stunned by the simple fact that she made a change.
I never met Anne, but wish I had. I did meet Sarah Ferguson before she and Andrew were an item.
Terry Wogan is brilliant and funny and I do have a connection to him. I wrote two humorous letters to him, which he read on his BBC radio show. I wasn’t listening either time, but dozens of my USAF fellow airmen were, and they told me about them.
Subtle but stunning! It’s a nice do, but really.
I love how she shows her commitment to a sustainable wardrobe by wearing the same gown twice in five years.
I’m teasing the commenter here. I have nothing against Princess Anne, who’s always impressed me favorably and has a lot to put up with despite her unimpeachable social standing and great wealth.
“My hairdo for a horse!”
I am stunned that such a change attracts so much excited attention!
The British love their Royal Family. Observers keep track of what they wear, and when, and it’s big news when something changes. Small-r republicans in the US find this foolish, but there are things about American popular attention that are pretty foolish also.
Some Brits do, but much of their chatterati and dependents and hangers-on despise them. By way of example, some years back a scrum of media outlets (among them The Daily Mail) decided to initiate a slam-book campaign against one of the Queen’s granddaughters, by all appearances a benign figure who got through her schooling without incident, who had a short list of paramours, and who had done nothing obtrusively unpleasant. She received no ‘civil list’ income and did not make many public appearances – a few periodic ceremonial events, a scatter of philanthropic promotions, and a couple of bit parts in television costume drama. So they got creative, deriding her for job hopping, for minor mishaps at social occasions, for her travel schedule, and for having a grace-and-favour berth (shared with her sister) at one of the Crown Estate properties.

I’m a regular at a Canadian blog where standard fare is contempt lobbed at every member of the royal family that enters their field of vision, the current King especially.
