She is the second grandchild of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. 21 - gun salutes signalled the birth in Hyde Park. Anne was baptised in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace on 21 October 1950, by Archbishop of York, Cyril Garbett. A governess, Catherine Peebles, was appointed to look after Anne and was responsible for her early education at Buckingham Palace ; Peebles also served as early governess for Anne 's older brother, Charles. After the death of George VI, Anne 's mother ascended the throne as Queen Elizabeth II. Given her young age at the time, she did not attend the coronation. Anne and Charles at the White House with Tricia Nixon and Julie and David Eisenhower in 1970 A Girl Guides company, the 1st Buckingham Palace Company to include the Holy Trinity Brompton Brownie pack, was re-formed in May 1959, specifically so that, as her mother and aunt had done as children, Anne could socialise with girls her own age. The Company was active until 1963, when Anne went to boarding school. Anne enrolled at Benenden School in 1963. In 1968 she left school with six GCE O - Levels and two A-Levels. In the next couple of years, Anne started dating. In 1970, her first boyfriend was Andrew Parker Bowles, who later became the first husband of Camilla Shand ( subsequently the mistress and second wife of her brother, Prince Charles ). First marriage Further information : Wedding of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips and Wedding dress of Princess Anne Princess Anne at Massawa, Ethiopia, in February 1973 Anne first met her future husband Mark Phillips at a party for horse lovers in 1968. Their engagement was announced on 29 May 1973. On 14 November 1973 ( the twenty - fifth birthday of her brother, Prince Charles ), Princess Anne married Mark Phillips, a lieutenant in the 1st Queen 's Dragoon Guards, at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony that was televised around the world, with an estimated audience of 100 million. Following the wedding, Anne and her husband lived at Gatcombe Park. He was made acting captain by the start of 1974 when he was appointed a personal aide - de-camp to Queen Elizabeth II. As was customary for untitled men marrying into the royal family, Phillips was offered an earldom. He declined this offer leading to their children being born without courtesy titles. The couple would have two children, Peter ( born 1977 ) and Zara Phillips ( born 1981 ). On 31 August 1989, Princess Anne and Mark Phillips announced their intention to separate, as the marriage had been under strain for a number of years. The couple had been rarely seen in the public together, and both were romantically linked with other people. They continued to share the custody of their children, and initially announced that `` there were no plans for divorce. '' They eventually divorced on 23 April 1992. Anne has four grandchildren. She first became a grandmother on 29 December 2010 when Peter and his wife Autumn had a daughter, Savannah. On 29 March 2012, the couple had another daughter, Isla. Anne 's third granddaughter, Mia Grace, was born on 17 January 2014 to Zara and her husband Mike Tindall. Their second daughter, Lena Elizabeth, was born on 18 June 2018. Kidnapping attempt Princess Anne in a visit to Washington, Tyne and Wear, 1974 As Princess Anne and Mark Phillips were returning to Buckingham Palace on 20 March 1974, from a charity event on Pall Mall, their Princess IV car was forced to stop on the Mall by a Ford Escort. The driver of the Escort, Ian Ball, jumped out and began firing a pistol. Inspector James Beaton, Anne 's personal police officer, responded by getting out of the car in order to shield her and to attempt to disarm Ball. Beaton 's firearm, a Walther PPK, jammed, and he was shot by the assailant, as was Anne 's chauffeur, Alex Callender, when he tried to disarm Ball. Brian McConnell, a nearby tabloid journalist, also intervened, and was shot in the chest. Ball approached Anne 's car and told her of his kidnapping plan, which was to hold her for ransom, the sum given by varying sources as £ 2 million or £ 3 million, which he claimed he intended to give to the National Health Service. Ball then directed Anne to get out of the car, to which she replied : `` Not bloody likely ! '', and reportedly briefly considered hitting Ball. Eventually, she exited the other side of the limousine as had her lady - in - waiting, Rowena Brassey. A passing pedestrian, a former boxer named Ron Russell, punched Ball in the back of the head and then led Anne away from the scene. At that point, Police Constable Michael Hills happened upon the situation ; he too was shot by Ball, but not before he called for police backup. Detective Constable Peter Edmonds, who had been nearby, answered and gave chase, finally arresting Ball. Beaton, Hills, Callender and McConnell were hospitalised, and all recovered from their wounds. For his defence of Princess Anne, Beaton was awarded the George Cross by the Queen, who was visiting Indonesia when the incident occurred ; Hills and Russell were awarded the George Medal, and Callender, McConnell and Edmonds were awarded the Queen 's Gallantry Medal. Anne later visited Beaton in hospital and thanked him for his assistance ; she also spoke about the event on TV to Parkinson in 1974 saying she was ' scrupulously polite ' to her would - be kidnapper as she thought it would be ' silly to be too rude at that stage '. Ball pleaded guilty to attempted murder and kidnapping. He was still detained under the Mental Health Act as of January 2011, at Broadmoor. The incident was the closest in modern times that any individual has come to kidnapping a member of the Royal Family, and prompted higher security levels for the family. It also served as the focus of the 2006 Granada Television produced docu - drama To Kidnap a Princess and inspired story lines in the Tom Clancy novel Patriot Games. Second marriage Anne met Timothy Laurence while he was serving on the Royal Yacht Britannia, and their relationship developed in early 1989, three years after he was appointed as an equerry to the Queen. In 1989, the existence of private letters from Laurence to the Princess was revealed by The Sun newspaper. Anne married Laurence, then a Commander in the Royal Navy, at Crathie Kirk, near Balmoral Castle, on 12 December 1992. Around 30 guests were invited for the private marriage service. The couple chose to marry in Scotland as the Church of England did not at that time allow divorced persons whose former spouses were still living to remarry in its churches. The Church of Scotland does not consider marriage to be a sacrament, and thus not binding forever, and has no moral objection to the remarriage of divorced persons. In participating in this ceremony, Anne became the first royal divorcée to remarry since Victoria, Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, married Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovich of Russia in 1905. For the wedding ceremony, Anne wore a white jacket over a `` demure, cropped - to - the - knee dress '' and a spray of white flowers in her hair. Her engagement ring is made of `` a cabochon sapphire flanked by three small diamonds on each side ''. Following the marriage service, the couple and guests headed to Craigowan Lodge for a private reception. Like Phillips before him, Laurence received no peerage, and the couple leased a flat in Dolphin Square, London. They later gave up this city home and now reside between an apartment at St James 's Palace and Gatcombe Park. Anne has no children by Laurence.
