Princess Anne Marks Sir Tim Birthday Quietly
Princess Anne is set to mark her husband Sir Timothy Laurence’s 71st birthday in a low-key way on Sunday, as the Royal Family continues to face scrutiny over developments linked to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The update emerged in a wider round-up of royal news on Thursday evening.
Hello Magazine reported that the Princess Royal and Sir Tim are expected to keep celebrations private, with the couple opting for a quiet approach amid ongoing family drama involving Anne’s brother Andrew.
Anne and Sir Tim married in 1992, following her first marriage to Captain Mark Phillips. The Hello live blog noted that the Princess Royal shares two children, Ms Zara Tindall and Mr Peter Phillips, from that earlier marriage.
More broadly, the same update stream also tracked continuing fallout around Andrew, including changes to commemorations connected to his former public role and questions over where Sarah Ferguson could live next, as previously discussed in palace pushes ‘business as usual’ after Prince Andrew arrest.
The quiet personal milestone for Anne comes as the wider Royal Family calendar remains busy, with ongoing public engagements and charity and palace developments continuing to draw attention in the wake of the Andrew situation.
