The royals have given us plenty of surprises over the years, but Princess Anne’s latest project might be the most unexpected yet: the launch of her very own “Royal Joke Hotline.” Yes, you read that right — anyone can now dial in and hear Anne’s best collection of knock-knock jokes, straight from the palace.

And in true royal fashion, the hotline has already gained a rather high-profile fan: the Queen herself.

A Knock-Knock Revolution at Buckingham

According to insiders, Anne came up with the idea after joking that official royal duties were getting “too serious.” Ever the rebel, she decided the world needed more laughter — and who better to deliver it than her?

Thus, the hotline was born: a cheerful voice recording of Princess Anne sharing her signature brand of dry humor and witty knock-knock jokes.

One early caller revealed the sample:
“Knock-knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Windsor.”
“Windsor who?”
“Windsor last time you had a proper laugh?”

The Queen’s Daily Calls

But the real shock came when reports surfaced that the Queen herself dials in daily to hear her daughter’s jokes. According to palace whispers, the monarch can’t get enough of Anne’s deadpan delivery and has made the hotline a part of her morning routine.

“Nothing brightens her day quite like Anne pretending to be a door,” said one amused insider.

The Public Reacts

The hotline has already gone viral, with thousands dialing in just to say they’ve heard a royal knock-knock joke. Social media exploded with screenshots of call logs and quotes from Anne’s repertoire. One fan tweeted: “Forget royal tours — I just want unlimited minutes on Anne’s hotline!”

Another wrote: “If I don’t hear Princess Anne say ‘knock-knock’ at least once a day, my week is ruined.”

Palace Gardeners vs. Palace Jokers?

Royal aides reportedly have mixed feelings. Some love the idea, calling it a refreshing way to humanize the monarchy. Others, however, worry that Anne’s hotline may overshadow more “serious” royal initiatives.

One staffer allegedly muttered: “First it was sunflowers in the rose garden, now it’s a joke hotline. What’s next — juggling lessons at Windsor?”

Anne: The Royal Wild Card

Known for her no-nonsense attitude and sharp wit, Princess Anne has long been considered the royal family’s most unpredictable star. With this hotline, she’s once again cemented her reputation as the family’s comic relief — the one royal who refuses to take herself too seriously.

As the hotline grows in popularity, one can’t help but wonder: will other royals join in? Imagine Prince William telling dad jokes, or King Charles explaining puns about gardening!

Until then, it’s clear that Princess Anne’s “Royal Joke Hotline” is more than just a novelty — it’s a viral sensation bringing laughter to the monarchy and beyond.
