About this person

Born at Clarence House on 15 August 1950, Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise was the second child of the future queen and third in line to the throne; she's since slipped to 18th. Educated at Benenden School, she began official duties in 1968 and quickly established herself as a serious equestrian, winning gold at the 1971 European Eventing Championships and two silvers in 1975. In 1976 she became the first British royal to compete in the Olympics. She was granted the title Princess Royal in 1987. Her first marriage, to Captain Mark Phillips in 1973, produced two children - Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall - before ending in divorce in 1992, the same year she married Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence. She has been tied to Save the Children for over 50 years and sits on the International Olympic Committee since 1988, while her patronages span sport, science, disability, and health work in the developing world.
