And a fourth user gushed: “Fantastic insight into this wonderful woman’s life. No nonsense, classy lady. My favourite royal.”

Indeed, Anne’s avid love for horses is present throughout much of the documentary.

She even said she believes her horse experience helped her through her kidnap attempt.

“I suppose that was the discipline which to some extent coloured my thought processes.”
