Princess Anne’s new daughter-in-law Harriet Phillips is understood to be grateful for what the royal has done for the family.
Peter Phillips, Anne’s only son, had married Harriet during the summer in an intimate wedding, and also welcomed 14-year-old Georgina into the fold.
It is hard for a young teen to settle into a new environment and Harriet was undoubtedly worried about how things would pan out.

However, her tensions were eased after Anne and members of the royal family made a warm gesture for Georgina.
In her latest interview with Hello!, Harriet had revealed her “painful” challenge of raising her only daughter as a single mum. The mum and daughter share a very close bond, hence the delightful welcome was a relief to her.
“Although at times it was a painful experience, I did have the support of people who loved us,” she added. “Any time in life when you’re under pressure or facing adversity, something good always comes from it. Lean in; don’t be scared.”
Harriet proudly divulged on how her daughter adapted to the unusual situation.
“She’s very serene and emotionally very mature. She takes it all in her stride,” the mum said.
This comes after it was revealed that Anne is “so happy” for her son and “overjoyed” to have another granddaughter.
Moreover, sources said both Savannah and Isla “adore” their stepsister and the “trio have become quite a force to be reckoned with”.
