Princess Anne was the first royal to receive a rare title in recognition of a huge achievement and it’s now held by Zara Tindall too.
Princess Anne is famously one of the most hardworking members of the Royal Family and regularly supports King Charles by undertaking a packed schedule of engagements at home and abroad. With this in mind it might come as a surprise to some that Princess Anne doesn’t have royal security full-time and is 17th in the royal line of succession. She does, however, hold the prestigious title of Princess Royal and another even rarer title that was granted to her in 1971. At the time Princess Anne’s professional equestrian career was in full swing and at the age of just 21 she won a gold medal at the European Eventing Championship in Burghley.
