Becoming the Princess Royal

Princess Anne is the second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, born on 15 August 1950 at Clarence House in London. Known for her no nonsense attitude, the princess has garnered a very well-deserved reputation for hard work, and commitment to her charitable causes. Her elder brother's role was, of course, predestined, but hers was not. With slim chances of ever wearing the crown, Anne was left to figure out her own destiny. We take a look back at the life and passions of the young Princess, from her life as a little girl in England, tending to her ponies, to her time as an accomplished Olympic Equestrian. We take a royal tour around her romances, separations and scandals, as the young Anne sets about becoming the princess royal.
