Princess Anne explained her approach in an interview a few years ago, as part of an ITV documentary calledThe duo visiting The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists on April 27, 2022 Reflecting on how meeting the public has changed since she became a working member of the royal family,She went on:
"The theory was that you couldn't shake hands with everybody, so don't start. So I kind of stick with that, but I notice others don't."Referring to younger members of the royal family, Anne added: "It's not for me to say that it's wrong, but I think that the initial concept was that it was patently absurd to start shaking hands.
"And it seems to me that it's become a shaking hands exercise, rather than a walkabout, if you see what I mean. So that has changed."The Prince and Princess of Wales alsoThe late monarch's only daughter continued: "I'm glad I'm not starting now, because at least you had people to talk to, and now you don't really. Phones are bad enough, but the iPads, you can't even see their heads. You don't know who you're talking to".
