“He's just the same as he has always been,'” she says. “As a very little boy, he was very much like he is now, just a smaller version.”
Like any good mother, though, Anne doesn't favour either of her two children ahead of the other. Harry's older sister Gemma, 32, is a writer and podcaster and herself has more than nine million Instagram followers.
“I'm very proud of both Harry and his older sister Gemma and the adults they've become,” she stresses. “They're both really hard working, they've got good morals and they're kind people.”
“I know it sounds like a dreadful cliche but as long as they're happy, that's the most important thing.”
What's clear today is that behind the enormous star lies a tight-knit family. “Oh yes, we're all close, it's just geography,”says Anne. “We all see each other when we can.”
