Princess Anne Slams 'Selfish' Singles
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Princess Anne said on Tuesday the increasing tendency of Britons to live alone to maximize their independence was plain selfish. She was commenting in an interview with the Times newspaper on government figures showing that more than six million people in England now lived on their own three times as many as 40 years ago.
``Life in general nowadays is more and more isolating. Most people would call it independence, but I'm not that sure what that means. It could mean just plain selfish,'' the princess said.
``It could be more convenient just to live all by yourself but it means that you don't understand the impact of your life on other people's lives, and how you depend on other people all the time. It's no good.''
