Princess Anne credits her endless energy to following teetotal Andrew\u2019s lead<\/p>\n

Princess Anne appears to have found her formula for boundless stamina as she abstains from alcohol entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From charity galas to sporting events and official engagements, the Princess Royal is rarely seen with a drink in hand.<\/p>\n

Anne\u2019s teetotal lifestyle mirrors that of her younger brother, Andrew, who has also publicly confirmed he avoids alcohol, citing that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t have the head for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The royal siblings stand out in a family where occasional indulgences are not uncommon.<\/p>\n

Queen Elizabeth reportedly enjoyed a Dubonnet-and-gin cocktail inherited from her mother, while other family members have admitted to drinking to calm nerves amid the pressures of public life.<\/p>\n

Captain Sir Nicholas Wright RN, Anne\u2019s former private secretary, revealed in ITV\u2019s Anne: The Princess Royal at 70 documentary that he was \u201cvery jealous\u201d of the Princess\u2019s alcohol-free approach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a lifestyle choice that may help explain her extraordinary energy on multiple weekly engagements, where she navigates complex schedules and high-profile events without missing a beat.<\/p>\n

Even in the modern royal generation, coping strategies differ.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prince Harry, has openly discussed turning to alcohol and other substances to manage the mental strain of life,<\/p>\n

He described a period when he felt \u201call over the place mentally\u201d and was willing to try anything to feel better.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Anne credits her endless energy to following teetotal Andrew\u2019s lead Princess Anne appears to have found her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":330152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-330151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
