Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, just turned the big 7-5, and she’s doing it in true royal style—by breaking the mold! Born to Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Anne’s made headlines for over 70 years, whether it’s for her adventurous spirit or her very modern take on royal life. Did we mention the kidnapping attempt back in the day? Talk about a woman who knows how to handle high-stakes drama!
Anne’s journey hasn’t just been about tradition and tiaras. She’s famously one of the few royals to divorce and remarry, having wed Sir Timothy Laurence in 1992 after her split from Captain Mark Phillips. On top of that, she chose to raise her children—Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall—without royal titles. It’s a cheeky move that aims to keep their lives as normal as possible. Who knew royalty could be so relatable?
Not to be outdone, she showed up in the spotlight during her brother King Charles III’s coronation, taking charge with a horseback appearance that turned heads. As the only royal in the procession, she reminded everyone that she’s not just a member of the royal family; she’s a force to be reckoned with! So what’s next for the ever-inspiring Princess Anne? Well, we’re all ears for her next bold move!
