Princess Anne is marking her 76th birthday today. Born on 15 August 1950, she is a member of the British royal family. She is the second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and the sister of King Charles III. She has held the title of Princess Royal since 1987. As of 2026, Princess Anne is 19th in the line of succession to the British throne.
Princess Anne recently welcomed a new daughter-in-law, Harriet Phillips, and a new step-granddaughter, Georgina, into her family. She is celebrating her birthday privately with her immediate family and grandchildren at Gatcombe Park, her Gloucestershire estate, where she lives with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.



Viva the bright lipstick!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, kind, practical, sustainable, horsey, no-nonsense Anne!
ReplyDeleteI love the hat in the first picture. Hats, correctly chosen for the face and head shape, have such a capacity to frame our faces and add loveliness.
She is never fashionable, but always honours the occasion by not wearing what she probably would to feel comfortable. Always elegant, even if not always absolutely pleasing the eye, - this is her speciality. I don't even mind her black gloves as long as she puts on a nice red lipstick alongside with her bright smile. She is a shining example of a dutiful life, may she just keep soldiering on like this for a long time.
ReplyDeleteQuel magnifique chapeau ; j'aimerais bien voir avec quelle tenue elle porte !
