Early life and education
Anne was born during the reign of her maternal grandfather, King George VI, at Clarence House on
15 August 1950 at 11:50 am,[9] the second child and only daughter of Princess Elizabeth, Duchess
of Edinburgh, and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. A 21-gun salute in Hyde Park signalled the birth.[10]
Anne was christened in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace on 21 October 1950, by
Archbishop of York, Cyril Garbett.[c] At the time of her birth, she was third in the line of succession
to the British throne, behind her mother – at that time Princess Elizabeth – and older brother,
Charles. She rose to second after her mother's accession; she is currently 17th in line.[d]

A governess, Catherine Peebles, was appointed to look after Anne and was responsible for her early
education at Buckingham Palace;[12] Peebles also served as early governess for Anne's older
brother, Charles. After the death of George VI in February 1952, Anne's mother ascended the throne
as Queen Elizabeth II. Given her young age at the time, Anne did not attend the coronation in June Princess Anne with her

October 1957
A Girl Guides company, the 1st Buckingham Palace Company to include the Holy Trinity
Brompton Brownie pack, was re-formed in May 1959, specifically so that, as her mother and aunt
had done as children, Anne could socialise with girls her own age. The company was active until 1963, when Anne went to
boarding school.[13] Anne enrolled at Benenden School in 1963. In 1968, she left school with six GCE O-Levels and two A-
Levels.[12] She began to undertake royal engagements in 1969, at the age of 18.[14]

In 1970, she briefly had a relationship with Andrew Parker Bowles, who later married Camilla Shand. Shand much later married
Anne's brother, Prince Charles, as his second wife.[15] Anne was also briefly linked to Olympic equestrian Richard Meade.[16]

Equestrianism
In spring 1971, Princess Anne finished fourth at the Medal record
Rushall Horse Trials.[17] At the age of 21, Anne won the
individual title at the European Eventing Representing  United
Championship[18] and was voted the BBC Sports Kingdom
Personality of the Year in 1971.[19] She also rode Equestrian
winners in horse racing, competing in the Grand Military

silver medal in both individual and team disciplines in the 1975 European Eventing Individual

Championship. [21] The following year, Anne participated in the 1976 Olympic Games in eventing
Montreal as a member of the British team, riding the Queen's horse, Goodwill, in
Eventing.[22] Anne suffered a concussion halfway through the course but remounted and finished the event; she has stated she
cannot remember making the rest of the jumps.[20] The British team had to pull out of the competition after two horses were
injured.[23][24] She finished sixth at the Badminton Horse Trials in 1979.[17] In 1985, she rode in a charity horse race at the Epsom
Derby, finishing fourth.[20]

Anne assumed the Presidency of the Fédération Équestre Internationale from 1986 until 1994.[25] On 5 February 1987, she became
the first member of the royal family to appear as a contestant on a television quiz-show when she competed on the BBC panel game
A Question of Sport.[21]

Marriages and children

Marriage to Mark Phillips

Anne met Mark Phillips, a lieutenant in the 1st Queen's Dragoon Guards, in 1968 at a party for horse lovers.[26] Their engagement
was announced on 29 May 1973.[27][28] On 14 November 1973, the couple married at Westminster Abbey in a televised ceremony,
with an estimated audience of 100  million.[29] They subsequently took up residence at Gatcombe Park. As was customary for
untitled men marrying into the royal family, Phillips was offered an earldom, which he declined; consequently their children were
born without titles.[30] Anne and her husband had two children: Peter (born 1977) and Zara Phillips (born 1981).[31] Anne and
Phillips have five grandchildren. On 31 August 1989, Anne and Phillips announced their intention to separate; the couple had been
rarely seen in public together and both were romantically linked with other people.[26][32][33] They shared custody of their children,
and initially announced that "there were no plans for divorce."[34][35] However, on 13 April 1992 the Palace announced that Anne
had filed for divorce, which was finalised ten days later.[36][37]

Marriage to Sir Timothy Laurence

Anne met Timothy Laurence, a commander in the Royal Navy, while he was serving on
the Royal Yacht Britannia. Their relationship developed in early 1989, three years after he
was appointed as an equerry to the Queen.[38] In 1989, the existence of private letters from
Laurence to the Princess was revealed by The Sun newspaper.[33] The couple married at
Crathie Kirk near Balmoral Castle in Scotland, on 12 December 1992.[39] Approximately
30 guests were invited for the private marriage service.[40] Unlike the Church of England
at the time, the Church of Scotland considered marriage to be an ordinance of religion
rather than a sacrament and permitted the remarriage of divorced persons under certain
circumstances.[41][42][43] Anne became the first royal divorcée to remarry since Princess
Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, granddaughter of Queen Victoria. The Princess Royal with her second
husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy
For the wedding ceremony, Anne wore a white jacket over a "demure, cropped-to-the- Laurence (2014)
knee dress" and a spray of white flowers in her hair.[44] Her engagement ring was made of
"a cabochon sapphire flanked by three small diamonds on each side".[45] Following the
marriage service, the couple and guests headed to Craigowan Lodge for a private reception.[39] Laurence received no peerage, and
the couple leased a flat in Dolphin Square, London. They reside between an apartment at St James's Palace and Gatcombe Park.[46]

Kidnapping attempt
On 20 March 1974, Princess Anne and Mark Phillips were returning to Buckingham Palace from a charity event when a Ford
Escort forced their Princess IV car to stop on the Mall.[47] The driver of the Escort, Ian Ball, jumped out and began firing a pistol.
Inspector James Beaton, Anne's personal police officer, responded by exiting the car to shield her and to attempt to disarm Ball. But
Beaton's firearm, a Walther PPK, jammed, and he was shot by Ball, as was Anne's chauffeur, Alex Callender, when he tried to
disarm Ball.[48] Brian McConnell, a nearby tabloid journalist, also intervened, and was shot in the chest.[49] Ball approached Anne's
car and told her that he intended to kidnap her and hold her for ransom, the sum given by varying sources as £2  million[50] or
£3 million, which he claimed he intended to give to the National Health Service.[47] Ball told Anne to get out of the car, to which
she replied, "Not bloody likely!" She reportedly briefly considered hitting Ball.[51]

Eventually, she exited the other side of the limousine, as had her lady-in-waiting, Rowena Brassey. A passing pedestrian, a former
boxer named Ron Russell, punched Ball in the back of the head and led Anne away from the scene. At that point, Police Constable
Michael Hills happened upon the scene; he too was shot by Ball, but he had already called for police backup. Detective Constable
Peter Edmonds answered, gave chase, and finally arrested Ball.[48]

Beaton, Hills, Callender, and McConnell were hospitalised, and recovered from their wounds. For his defence of Princess Anne,
Beaton was awarded the George Cross by the Queen, who was visiting Indonesia when the incident occurred;[52] Hills and Russell
were awarded the George Medal, and Callender, McConnell, and Edmonds were awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal.[47][53] It
was widely reported that the Queen paid off Russell's mortgage, but this is not true: Russell said in 2020 that a police officer
suggested it might happen, so he stopped paying his mortgage in anticipation and nearly had his house repossessed after four
months.[54] Anne visited Beaton in hospital and thanked him for his assistance. In 1984, she spoke about the event on Parkinson,
saying she was 'scrupulously polite' to Ball as she thought it would be 'silly to be too rude at that stage'.[52]

Ball pleaded guilty to attempted murder and kidnapping. As of 2019, he was still detained under the Mental Health Act at
Broadmoor Hospital.[55]

The attempted kidnapping of Princess Anne is the focus of the Granada Television-produced docudrama To Kidnap a Princess
(2006) and inspired story lines in Tom Clancy's novel Patriot Games.[56]

Activities
Anne undertakes a number of duties and engagements on behalf of her mother, in support of her role as sovereign of the
Commonwealth realms. Kevin S. MacLeod, the Canadian Secretary to the Queen, said of Anne in 2014: "Her credo is, 'Keep me
busy. I'm here to work. I'm here to do good things. I'm here to meet as many people as possible'."[57] It was revealed in December
2017 that the Princess Royal had undertaken the most official engagements that year out of
all the royal family, her mother included.[58][59] Among her royal visits, the Princess has
toured Norway,[60] Jamaica,[61] Germany,[62] Austria,[63] New Zealand, and Australia.[64]

Her first public engagement was at the opening of an educational and training centre in
Shropshire in 1969. Anne travels abroad on behalf of the United Kingdom up to three times
a year. She began to undertake overseas visits upon leaving secondary school,[12] and
accompanied her parents on a state visit to Austria in the same year.[65] Her first tour of
Australia was with her parents in 1970, since which she has returned on numerous occasions Anne visiting the British School in
to undertake official engagements as a colonel-in-chief of an Australian regiment, or to the Netherlands in 1984
attend memorials and services, such as the National Memorial Service for victims of the
Black Saturday bushfires in Melbourne, Australia, on 22 February 2009.[66] In 1990 she
was the first member of the royal family to make an official visit to the Soviet Union when she went there as a guest of President
Mikhail Gorbachev and his government.[65][67]

Anne is involved with over 200 charities and organisations in an official capacity. She works
extensively for Save the Children, serving as president from 1970 to 2017, and has been patron
for over 50 years.[68] Anne has visited the organisation's projects in Bangladesh, Sierra Leone,
South Africa, Mozambique, Ethiopia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[68] As a result of her work,
she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 by Kenneth Kaunda, President of
Zambia.[68] She initiated The Princess Royal Trust for Carers in 1991.[69] Anne is the patron of
Transaid, a charity founded by Save the Children and the Chartered Institute of Logistics and
Transport which aims to provide safe and sustainable transport in developing countries.[70] She is
also the Royal Patron of WISE, an organisation that encourages young women to pursue careers
in science, engineering and construction.[71] Her extensive work for St. John Ambulance as
The Princess Royal visits Commandant-in-Chief of St. John Ambulance Cadets has helped to develop many young people,

as she annually attends the Grand Prior Award Reception.[72][73] She is Patron of St. Andrew's
while the vessel docked at
First Aid.[74][75] She is a British representative in the International Olympic Committee as an
Southampton
administrator,[76] and was a member of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic
Games.[77] She also serves as President of the British Olympic Association. She was President of
BAFTA from 1973 to 2001. [78] In 1985 she became president of the Riding for the Disabled Association after serving as their
patron for fourteen years.[79] In 1986 she was appointed Master of the Worshipful Company of Carmen.[80] She maintains a
relationship with student sport and is the Patron of British Universities and Colleges Sport.[81] She has been Patron of the Royal
National Children's Foundation since 2002[82][83] and the industrial heritage museum, Aerospace Bristol, since 2016.[84]

Following the retirement of the Queen Mother in 1981, Anne was elected by graduates of the University of London as the
Chancellor and has been in the position since 1981.[85] Throughout May 1996, Anne served as Her Majesty's High Commissioner
to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and held the post again in 2017.[86] In 2007, she was appointed by the Queen
as Grand Master of the Royal Victorian Order, a position her grandmother had also held.[87] She is a Royal Fellow of the Royal
Society[88] and the Academy of Medical Sciences.[89] Royal Fellows are members of the Monarchy who are recommended and
elected by the Society's Council. The Royal Society has only four Royal Fellows, including the Princess Royal herself, the Prince of
Wales, the Duke of Kent, and the Duke of Cambridge.[90] She is the Academy of Medical Sciences' first Royal Fellow.[89]

She was elected Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh effective 31 March 2011,
succeeding her father, who stepped down from the role in 2010.[91] Likewise, she
accepted in 2011 the roles of President of City and Guilds of London Institute,[92] Master
of the Corporation of Trinity House[93][94] and President of the Royal Society of Arts, also
in succession to her father. She is also Patron of the Royal College of Occupational
Therapists,[95] Edinburgh University's Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies,[96]
Royal Holloway, University of London,[97][98] International Students House,
London,[99][100] Acid Survivors Trust International,[101] Townswomen's Guilds[102] and
Citizens Advice.[103]
The Princess Royal speaking at the
She represented Great Britain in the International Olympic Committee at the 2014 Sochi 100th Maritime Safety Committee

Russian city of Arkhangelsk for the 75th anniversary of Operation Dervish, which was
one of the first Arctic convoys of World War II.[105] In September 2016, the Princess
suffered from chest infection and was required to cancel official engagements.[106] In late October 2016, she visited the Malaysian
state of Sarawak for a two-day study tour.[107] In 2017, she became Prime Warden of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers and
a Governor of Gresham's School.[108]

Public image and style

 Anne has been called the royal family's "trustiest anchor" and a "beacon of good, old-fashioned
public service", having carried out over 20,000 engagements since her 18th birthday.[109] In her
early adulthood, she was cited as a "royal renegade" for choosing to forego titles for her children
despite being the "spare to the heir".[110] The media often called the young Anne "aloof" and
"haughty", giving her the nickname "her royal rudeness".[109] She spurred controversy for telling
photographers to "naff off" at the Badminton Horse Trials in 1982.[111] Vanity Fair wrote that
Anne "has a reputation for having inherited her father's famously sharp tongue and waspish
wit".[111] Of her early public role, she has said: "It's not just about, Can I get a tick in the box for
doing this? No, it's about serving…It took me probably 10 years before I really felt confident
enough to contribute to Save the Children's public debates because you needed to understand
how it works on the ground and that needed a very wide coverage. So my early trips were really
important."[111]

The Princess Royal is one of

Anne remains one of Britain's most popular royals.[112][113][114] Telegraph Editor Camilla
the few women in the royal
Tominey called her a "national treasure", writing that she is "hailed as one of the great English
family to wear a military eccentrics", whose work ethic contributes to her regard.[110] Tominey wrote that Anne's public
uniform. role is a "contradiction of both protocol taskmaster and occasional rule-breaker".[109] Reportedly,
Anne "insists on doing her own make-up and hair" and drives herself to engagements, having
pleaded guilty to two separate speeding fines on account of being late.[109][115] She does not
shake hands with the public during walkabouts, saying, "the theory was that you couldn't shake hands with everybody, so don't
start."[109] Members of the public have seen her "mending fences at Gatcombe" and "queuing up for the Portaloos" at her daughter's
horse competitions.[109] Her reputation is also coupled with her advocacy for causes out of the mainstream, such as Wetwheels
Foundation's commitment to accessible sailing and the National Lighthouse Museum.[109] On her 60th and 70th birthdays, the BBC
and Vanity Fair both asked whether she would retire, and she denied it both times, citing her parents' example as well as her
commitment to her royal duties.[111] Anne's public personality has been described as "not suffering fools lightly" while maintaining
a "still-impressive level of grace and courtesy".[116][117]

British Vogue editor Edward Enninful has said that "Princess Anne is a true style icon and was all about sustainable fashion before
the rest of us really knew what that meant".[111] Her style has been noted for its timelessness; she relies almost solely on British
fashion brands, with tweed and tailored suits as her hallmarks.[111] She is known for recycling outfits, such as her floral-print dress
worn both to the wedding of the Prince of Wales in 1981 and the wedding of Lady Rose Windsor in 2008.[118] Anne is the patron
of U.K. Fashion and Textile Association.[119] She has been noted for wearing "bold patterns and vibrant pops of colour".[120] Her
style choices often reflect her equestrian interests as well as the practicality of her fast-paced schedule.[121][111] In the 1970s and
1980s, she was often photographed wearing trends such as puff sleeves, cardigans, bright floral patterns, and multicoloured
stripes.[120][122] Anne is also one of the few women in the royal family to wear a military uniform.[120] According to The Guardian,
she is "rarely seen without a brooch" during royal events.[122] Her millinery styles have included jockey caps and hats of multiple
colours and bold patterns.[122] She presented the Queen Elizabeth II award for British design at London Fashion Week in 2020.[122]
Anne has appeared on three British Vogue covers; after first appearing on the 1971 September issue at age 21, she also featured in
the May and November 1973 issues, commemorating her engagement to Mark Phillips.[123][124][125] She was featured in the cover
story for the April 2020 issue of Vanity Fair.[126]

Notes
a. Anne does not usually use a family name but when one is needed, it is Mountbatten-Windsor.[1]
b. The Perth Agreement and the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 reformed the line of succession to the British
throne to absolute primogeniture. However, this was applied only to those born after the Agreement, so neither the
Princess Royal nor her descendants at the time were moved ahead in the line.
c. Her godparents were the Queen (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother; her maternal grandmother); the
Princess Margarita, Hereditary Princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (her paternal aunt); Princess Andrew of Greece
and Denmark (her paternal grandmother); Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma (her paternal great-
uncle); and Andrew Elphinstone (her first cousin once removed).[11]
d. The Perth Agreement and the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 reformed the line of succession to the British
throne to absolute primogeniture. However, this was applied only to those born after the Agreement, so neither the
Princess Royal nor her descendants at the time were moved ahead in the line.
