Rustie Lee’s Heartwarming Encounters with Princess Anne
The story about Rustie Lee and Princess Anne highlights a sweet and very human side of the Royal Family. Rustie, best known as a TV chef from This Morning, revealed that she had what she called a “fan girl moment” when she first met the Princess Royal back in 1985 at a big charity event.
At that time, most people only knew Rustie as a chef, so when she showcased her singing talent on stage, it surprised many—including Princess Anne herself. The Princess’s kind words, “I did not realise you could sing,” showed that she not only noticed Rustie but also respected her hidden talent. For Rustie, the fact that a royal figure recognized her work meant a lot, and her reaction felt genuine and relatable.
What makes the story even warmer is that Anne remembered Rustie in later encounters—once at a theatre event in Birmingham and again during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, where the Princess waved back to her. These little gestures reveal Anne’s down-to-earth nature, something that often gets overshadowed by the formality of royal life.
