Princess Anne switched hotel rooms to save £40 and the reason is quite sensible
Anne has been known to be frugal including with her wardrobe as she's often spotted wearing the same outfits more than once.
Princess Anne: Charles won't change as King
Princes Anne made a visit to Scotland in 2012 and stayed at the Manor House Hotel. Upon arrival, she asked for a different room, not because she's particular, but to save money.
The room was more expensive because it had a view of the sea.
Anne was arriving at night and leaving early in the morning and according to the royal, she wouldn’t make use of the view.
The original room cost £225 with the second room being £40 cheaper.

At the time of the room switch-up, a spokesman for the hotel said: "She did not want a sea view because she would be arriving at night and leaving early,” which was originally reported by The Daily Mail.
According to the original report, it was assumed Anne would “want the best suite in the house,” but the hotel staff stood corrected and were happy to oblige the request.
Anne was travelling with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, and were on holiday. They were accompanied by two Scotland Yard bodyguards.

A spokesman for the hotel said: “She and her husband stayed one night and had dinner. She was very interested in the hotel and its history. It was a private visit and had been booked in advance. She did not sign the visitors’ book but seemed to enjoy her stay.”
Buckingham Palace released a statement, which read: “It was an entirely private visit. She had no official engagements that day.”
According to The Daily Mail, Anne paid for her room out of pocket versus relying on the taxpayers.
