Davina McCall has heaped praise on the Princess Royal after being made an MBE for services to broadcasting.
The 56-year-old said Anne had always been one of her favourite royals and shared her 'gung-ho' attitude to life.
The presenter added that she was 'terrified' before the investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace, but that it was an 'honour'.
She said: 'The Princess Royal has always been one of my favourite royals because I think as a woman or as a young girl growing up and seeing her, she always seemed to be quite gung-ho and she rather shared my ethos in life it felt like.
'She is a very positive, no-nonsense woman and I really like her for that so I was thrilled when it was her.
'I always found her rather inspiring growing up so to be presented with an award by her was a real treat.’
Anne asked how McCall got into broadcasting and the presenter replied that she had wanted to be a singer but 'wasn't good enough'.
The princess quipped that 'The Masked Singer is perfect for you!'
The presenter said: 'I thought 'Oh my God, Princess Anne's just said The Masked Singer'. She was lovely, very personable.'
McCall also passed on her best wishes to the King, who is recovering from an operation for an enlarged prostate, and the Princess of Wales who is back at home after being treated for abdominal surgery.
sorry for making an entirely survivor-centric edit. it will happen again.
i was listening to this song earlier for some nostalgic feelings and... man this part just hits so hard. i really wanted to make something for it, so here ya go. i used clips from the trailers of the seventeen most recent survivors to make something i'm honestly super fucking happy with. this is my tenth (standalone) edit and i couldn't be happier with that.
song is the fear song by amanda palmer & jason webley
OKAY REAL QUESTION... i'm gonna make singer!reader a bigger thing and all but would anyone like if i made playlists that would kinda act as the albums i imagine her having??
