special bond
Princess Anne
Born at Clarence House, Anne was educated at Benenden School and began undertaking royal duties upon reaching adulthood. She was given her lifelong title of Princess Royal in 1987.
Anne is well known for her charitable work, being the patron of over 200 organisations, and consistently tops the hardest-working royal lists every year.
She is an avid equestrian, having competed in European horse-riding championships, as well as being the first member of the British royal family to compete in the Olympic Games in 1976.
She married Timothy Laurence in 1992 and shares two children, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, with former spouse Captain Mark Phillips. Anne lives on the Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.
