With a strong personality like her father's and being far from the line of succession, Anne made choices that did not always please the matriarch of the royal family.

<p style="text-align:justify">On August 15, 1950, <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/queen-elizabeth-children-family-tree"><strong>Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise was</strong></a> born, the only female daughter of<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/prince-philip-died-at-age-99"> Elizabeth II and Prince Philip</a>. Her mother did not become Queen of England until two years later, in a ceremony unaccompanied by Anne because of her age. Even so, this event determined the direction of his life, since in the 1960s he began to fulfil his real duties.&nbsp;</p>


<p style="text-align:justify">With a strong personality like her father&#39;s and being far from the line of succession, Anne made choices that did not always please the matriarch of the <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/queen-elizabeth-diversity-department-buckingham-palace-british-royalty">royal family</a>. Among them, the marriage to Captain Mark Phillips, whose plebeian status was contrary to the Queen&#39;s expectations. From the relationship, sons Peter and Zara were born. The union, made official in 1973, was disbanded in 1992, again causing discomfort to royalty, given that divorces are not well regarded. The divorce was followed by a second marriage in the same year, with Timothy Laurence, a British naval officer.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The princess&#39;s hectic love life did not shake her image in the face of subjects who, on the contrary, honored her authenticity. Another proof of Anne&#39;s daring spirit was her participation in the Montreal Olympic Games, in the individual equestrian competitions, as well as in the European Eventing Championship competition, in which she received two silver medals and one gold. His daughter Zara followed in his footsteps and, in 2012, won the silver medal in equestrian at the London Olympics.</p>


<p style="text-align:justify">Currently, the <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/the-royal-family-main-titles-british-royalty">Royal Princess</a> is dedicated to charity work. With about 500 appearances a year, in order to publicize social projects, it works with more than 200 social organizations around the world, including those from African nations, aimed at combating hunger and extreme poverty. Anne has also been serving as an admiral and chief commander of women in the Royal Navy since 2012. To fulfil work commitments, he even used public transport, like any other citizen.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">From the second marriage, with Timothy, no new children were born. Today the couple spends most of their time at the Gatcombe Park residence in Gloucestershire, English county. The princess is already the grandmother of four grandchildren and shows, with her actions, that it is possible to maintain her naturalness, even bearing a title of nobility.</p>
