Princess Anne leaves MBE recipient mesmerised at Windsor Castle event<\/p>\n

Princess Anne has left a lasting impression on an MBE recipient.<\/p>\n

The Princess Royal served the honour of Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) medal on the recommendation of King Charles.<\/p>\n

An MBE recipient Michael Bailey, 68, recently opened up about his “five or six minutes” chat with Zara Tindall\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n

He told GB News, “When I got the warrant to say that I’ve been awarded the MBE, I didn’t believe it. I thought this was a scam, a very clever scam. I thought they’re not going to catch me out, so I threw it in the bin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael added, “Two days later, I just happened to mention to my son that I’d had this very clever scam. And he said, ‘Dad, what on earth have you done? That’s real!'”<\/p>\n

The 61-year-old hailed Anne as “very, very charming” during their interaction at the Windsor Castle ceremony.<\/p>\n

He also told People\u2019s Channel, “She said to me, ‘I understand you’re a specialist in your field,\u2019 I thought, I’m not going down that road, because she must say that to everybody.”<\/p>\n

For the key event, Michael was accompanied by his wife of almost 60 years, Gwen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Anne leaves MBE recipient mesmerised at Windsor Castle event Princess Anne has left a lasting impression on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[2639,7747,7709,55632,7730,7731,9143,1760,53655,51403,70610,19663,70609,7710,519,7859],"class_list":{"0":"post-169096","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-anne","9":"tag-at","10":"tag-british-royal-family","11":"tag-castle","12":"tag-charles","13":"tag-charles-iii","14":"tag-event","15":"tag-king-charles","16":"tag-leaves","17":"tag-mbe","18":"tag-mesmerised","19":"tag-princess","20":"tag-recipient","21":"tag-royal-families","22":"tag-royal-family","23":"tag-windsor"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114650980276392633","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
