Royal family wish Princess Anne a happy 71st birthday

Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, celebrated her 71st birthday with greetings from her royal family.

“I wish HRH the Princess Royal a happy birthday today,” the Royal Family’s official Instagram page on their story posted on Sunday with a photo of the princess.

They shared the same feelings on Twitter, but posted four photos alongside the birthday post, including a photo of Anne with her mom.

Her brother Prince Charles also wished her a happy birthday, posting a photo from the couple’s official Clarence House account when they were children.

“In this 1951 photo, the Prince of Wales shakes hands with his younger sister as he sits in their strollers in the garden of Clarence House,” the caption of the black and white photo read.

In July, the princess – who was notably the first member of the royal family to compete in the 1976 Olympics – sent a message to the British team competing in Tokyo.

“While I am sad that I am not here in person, I and the whole nation will proudly cheer and support you from home,” she said in a video posted to the Royal Family’s Instagram page.

Prior to that, she spent the month of June touring Scotland with Queen Elizabeth, visiting sites such as the AAC Clyde Space offices and the Children’s Wood Project in Glasgow.

Princess Anne has two children from her first marriage to Mark Phillips – Peter Phillips, 43, and Zara Tindall, 40. The couple separated in 1992 and she married Timothy Laurence the same year. She has five grandchildren.
