    A beautiful lady and perhaps the “so British” of all the royal ladies.
    I admire her solid independence and her non alignment with fashion/trends.
    Happy Birthday Princess Royal.
    On the astrological calendar, she is a “Leo”.

      I do not agree that she is the "so British" of all royal ladies.

    I love the pictures of Anne and Charles together. They seem to have a strong, loyal, sibling bond.

    She WAS a beauty when she was young (last picture). Pity one cannot see anything of that anymore in her present appearance.

      Well, at least she still has the same hairstyle. ;D

      Unnecessarily unkind. We will all age, yet our character and inner beauty endures. Anne is lovely.

      I think Anne has always looked, and continues to look, beautiful and poised.

      She looks more and more like QEII, I find.

      Would love to see if at 74 you still look like a 20 year old; your comment was mean and unnecessary. Rem

      The same hairstyle ? I don't see it. Maybe you could explain it to me ?

      @ Rem
      Nobody ask her to look like a 20 year old, but women over 70 these days can look younger than they are. Of course if you wear clothes that are 40 years old and you do you hair in an hairstyle my great grandmother used to have, not to speak of bad make-up or what is more important the lack of basic skin treatment. And by the way dear Rem, I am older that 74 and I look younger than I am. People are telling me regularly that I do not show my age.

      I actually don’t think even the Princess Royal would describe herself as ‘a lovely looking woman’ She has grace and dignity for sure and has really nice skin . She’s also worked hard at maintaining an enviably slim figure. Most importantly, she’s unassuming and hard working and a real asset to the Royal Famil. Happy birthday, ma’am

    I love the Princess Royal! She is and always has been a straight shooter and has never found it at all interesting to be in the public eye. She cares about her job, her patronages, her family, and her country. She is such an admirable lady. I hope she has a marvelously happy day on her birthday and has exactly the kind of day she wants! Happy Birthday, m'am!!!

      Well said, I totally agree. She is a very classy lady never looks for the limelight. All she needs is lipstick to brighten her face.

    What an unkind comment about Princess Anne’s looks. I think she is very attractive in her birthday photo. No one should feel less attractive as they age. There is no fountain of youth, especially for the person who made that comment!
