In celebration of her 73rd birthday, King Charles has lovingly paid tribute to his younger sister, Princess Anne, with a heartfelt message and a charming black-and-white photograph of them as children. The endearing picture captures the bond between the siblings, as Charles delicately holds Anne’s hand in their prams in the Clarence House garden back in 1951. Additionally, another photo showcases the pair engaging in conversation during the King’s Coronation at Buckingham Palace this year.
The official Royal Family account shared these nostalgic photos on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), extending warm wishes to Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal on her special day. King Charles and Queen Camilla, joined by fellow royals, also expressed their regards to Anne. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh took to X, sharing a photograph of Anne alongside Prince Edward and his wife Sophie during an enjoyable open carriage ride at Ascot in 2019, to wish The Princess Royal a very happy birthday.
Royal followers eagerly joined in sending their well-wishes to Princess Anne. They expressed their joy and appreciation for the beautiful photographs shared. One individual expressed, “Many happy returns HRH the Princess Anne. Beautiful photographs, thank you for sharing.” Another referred to her as an “absolute boss” and extended birthday greetings, while a third commented, “Age is just a number. Happy birthday to a living legend.” A fourth individual conveyed their heartfelt congratulations to Her Royal Highness.
Princess Anne, also known as Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise, was born on August 15, 1950, at Clarence House. As the only daughter and second child of the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, she was originally third in line to the British throne, but now holds the 17th position.
In her earlier years, Anne received her education at Buckingham Palace until she broke convention for princesses and attended Benenden School in Kent in 1963. At the age of 18, she began attending public engagements and worked her first royal duty by inaugurating an education and training center in Shropshire in 1969. Since then, Princess Anne has dedicated herself to over 300 charities and organizations throughout the Commonwealth. Her tireless commitments make her one of the busiest working members of the Royal Family.
Notably, in 1970, Anne assumed the role of President for Save the Children UK, marking her close association with the venerable charity. Her outstanding dedication led to her nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 by President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia. President Kaunda commended her love for people and her tireless efforts in assisting vulnerable children around the world, characterizing it as love in action.
From an early age, Princess Anne cultivated a passion for horsemanship and strived to reach the pinnacle of equestrian competition. Her exceptional skills earned her the individual European championship title in 1971 and a spot on the triumphing British team. In recognition of her achievements, she was awarded the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Furthermore, Anne made history as the first member of the Royal Family to participate in the Olympics, representing the British three-day event team in the 1976 Montreal Games. Presently, she serves as the president of the British Olympic Association and holds membership in the International Olympic Committee.
As a beloved grandmother, The Princess Royal cherishes her five grandchildren: Savannah Phillips, Isla Phillips, Mia Tindall, Lena Tindall, and Lucas Tindall.
