LONDON (AP) – Queen Elizabeth II’s daughter, Princess Anne, will celebrate her 70th birthday on Saturday in an undeniable manner that matches her reputation in Britain.
Everything planned for the princess will have to be a reduced case of the coronavirus pandemic. Not that the pandemic stopped Anne.
But to commemorate her birthday, Buckingham Palace released 3 new photos of her taken at her country house, Gatcombe Park, in southwest England last February through the famous portrait photographer John Swannell.
She has been as busy as ever helping the many charities she is related to, such as Save the Children. She was also noticed helping her mother take over online video calls while the Queen and Prince Philip are locked up at Windsor Castle.
Mike Tindall, the former England rugby player married to Anne’s daughter Zara, said the family circle had planned to mark his mother-in-law’s milestone in Scotland, but that other arrangements were needed.
“I’m sure we’ll do anything like a circle of family members to celebrate their 70 ordinary years. She’s an amazing woman in terms of the paintings she can make in the year,” Tindall told the BBC. “Let’s do anything. Right now, I don’t know if she knows, so my lips are sealed.”
As a component of the anniversary celebration, Anne is the subject of an ITV television documentary, more than a year in preparation. It features an invisible circle of family photographs and conversations with their daughter, son Peter Phillips, and her husband, Vice Admiral Tim Laurence.
She is a grandmother of 4 daughters, two of whom are two young men. None of her children or grandchildren have princely degrees, in part because Anne refused to have her mother offer to give them to them, in order to insulate them from the public’s attention. But they’re all members of the royal family.
Anne’s official name is Princess Royal, a great difference bestowed on the monarch’s eldest daughter.
Anne is widely admired for her pictorial ethic, her sporting career (she competed as an equestrian at the 1976 Olympics) and for her dry British sense of humor that was put to this effect in an attempted abduction in 1974.
Born on August 15, 1950, in Clarence House, one of the London apartments in the royal circle of relatives (where his brother, Prince Charles, does not live with his wife), is Charles’ younger sister, the heir to the throne. and big brother. Princes Andrew and Edward. He’s been ranked 14th in the line of succession.
Anne has opened her own path since she was little. In fact, she’s not the kind of classic princess you see in fairy tales.
“Like a young princess, I feel a huge sadness for everyone involved,” she once remarked. “It’s not practical to walk through life dressed in a long white dress and a crown.”
Although Anne is connected to more than three hundred charities, organizations and army regiments, and tops the list of members of the royal circle of relatives leading the top public commitments, she is probably the most productive known in Britain for her horsepower.
She – and her horse Doublet – won the individual gold medal at the European Championships at the full festival in 1971, a feat that earned her the admiration of the country and the coveted BBC Sports of Personality of the Year award.

Since then, the game has been a component of his life. In addition to winning a seat at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Anne has long been a member of the International Olympic Committee. He also played a central role in London’s success in hosting the 2012 Olympics and was a member of the creation committee.
Zara Tindall inherited her mother’s equestrian skills and won a silver medal in London as a component of the entire British festival team. Anne, of course, the right user to give Tindall her medal.
Before having children, Anne and her first husband, army captain Mark Phillips, survived an attempted abduction in 1974 while being taken to Buckingham Palace.
When the armed kidnapper, Ian Ball, told him “Come with me for a day or two” because he was looking for 2 million pounds, the princess replied that “it’s not very likely, and I don’t have 2 million pounds.”
Anne said she was “furious with this guy who had a fight with her and for tearing her favorite blue velvet dress.
This dry sense of humor will certainly be on Saturday, no matter what.
