Princess Anne responds to a child's hilarious comment

While at a recent event, Princess Anne reacted perfectly to a hilarious comment from a young boy.

Meeting with workers at a Riding for the Disabled (RDA) event, a young boy named Ryder began chatting with the 71-year-old royal.

Ryder asked, "Are you the Queen?"

To which Princess Anne responded, "No, the Queen is my mother."

Ryder then shocked the Princess Royal, saying "You're very beautiful...and very sexy!"

The exchange was captured by the organisations social media accounts, as the photo they shared shows Ryder doubled over in embarrassment, while a worker covers their mouth in surprise and Princess Anne is shown in a fit of laughter.

RDA captioned the images, "There's a beauty to working with children, they'll come out with anything! This was an exchange between #HRH and one of our riders."

Commenters were delighted with the young boy's sudden outburst, with one person saying, "Aw, he's too cute. What a story he'll have to tell for the rest of his life."

Another person commented, "What a wonderful exchange. Out of the mouths of babes....!"

Princess Anne became a patron of the RDA in 1971 and then became president in 1985.

The celebrate 50 years since taking on the role, Princess Anne launched the new Princess Royal Coaching Academy, "which will enable the RDA to improve learning opportunities for their coaches".
