Queen Elizabeth II’s only daughter is reportedly set to mark the occasion privately, sailing around the Western Isles of Scotland with her husband Tim Laurence, a retired Royal Navy officer.
Known for her plain-speaking, Anne is reported to have once described herself as “not everyone’s idea of a fairy-tale princess”.
“You learn the hard way,“ she said. “There isn’t a school for royalty.”
The former Olympic horse rider suffered concussion and minor head injuries at the sprawling estate last year after being struck by a horse, requiring a five-night stay in hospital.
Anne’s public profile has risen over the last 18 months, after she stepped in for Charles during his cancer treatment when he was forced to postpone some engagements.
Anne has long been dubbed Britain’s hardest-working royal, and the Court Circular said in 2024 she carried out 474 official engagements.
Earlier this year, she appeared to rule out retirement, saying “it isn’t really an option, no, I don’t think so”.
Formally referred to as the Princess Royal, Anne is also known for her busy work schedule and unfussy demeanour, which have earned her high popularity ratings with the British public.
She has famously carved her own path through the old-world royalty of her parents to embrace more modern ways for her own children, and has won respect for her work to support hundreds of charities and organisations.
Having inherited her mother’s passion for horses, she has long been described as horse-mad, with her equally forthright father, Prince Philip, once quoted as saying: “If it doesn’t fart or eat hay then she isn’t interested.”
Her association with the Games endured -- she became a member of the International Olympic Committee in 1988 and was on the organising committee for the London 2012 Games.
In a break from tradition, the couple decided Phillips should not accept a title so their children would also be untitled and free to determine their own lives.
