In a candid interview with Gala magazine, the princess explained that, as she grows older, she is less able to swim as intensely as she did when she was a professional athlete.

She explained: “It can be quite difficult because my nature is to want to beat records, win medals and surpass my limits.

“But, at nearly 47 years old, I can no longer do that… my body won’t let me.

“My spirit and my heart might, but my body says no!”
