Attribution: Article text available under CC-BY-SA Creative Commons image source in video Category Royal inspection in Barrie | Innisfil Examiner Report an error For the first time in more than a century, Barrie will host a Royal visit. Princess Anne — the Princess Royal — will receive a regal welcome from the city during a visit on Tuesday, Oct. 22. The Queen and Prince Philip had two children (Prince Charles and Princess Anne) before she ascended to the throne and two after, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. She received the title Princess Royal from The Queen in June 1987 — she is the seventh holder of the title — and she is the colonel-in-chief of the Grey and Simcoe Foresters infantry regiment of the Canadian Forces Reserve.

During her visit she'll meet some of them at the Barrie Armoury during a closed event. "Her Royal Highness will get an opportunity to talk to soldiers of the regiment and their families," said Capt. Gary Johnson. The last time the regiment was face-to face-with Princess Anne was in Owen Sound in 1979, although there have been other occasions when some of the soldiers met her at other events. "It's certainly a prestigious event for us," he added. The Princess Royal will be formally welcomed at the Southshore Centre with a royal salute played by the Pipes & Drums of The Grey and Simcoe Foresters, followed by an inspection by a Guard of Honour ceremony and an inspection of her regiment. Princess Anne will then take part in a dedication of the proposed Military Heritage Park, located adjacent to Allandale Station Park. It could eventually include trenches, a tulip meadow, the roundhouse plateau and a regenerative woodlot and would commemorate Canada's military involvement in several international conflicts, including the First World War and the Second World War, along with Canadian peacekeeping efforts.

Princess Anne's visit is sure to draw crowds and residents will have an opportunity to do some royal watching, according to Emma Sharpe, of the city's communications department. "We are very excited to be hosting her and are looking forward to showing off our beautiful city. Members of the public will be able to watch Princess Anne's arrival at Southshore Centre, the Guard of Honour ceremony and the inspection of the troops at the Southshore Centre," she said. "There will be an area along Lakeshore Drive for public viewing." Plans for the visit began last November when Maj. John Fisher of the Grey and Simcoe Foresters made a presentation to council about the it, Sharpe said. "Since then the city has been participating in a joint planning committee with members of the Grey & Simcoe Foresters, Rotary and Base Borden," Sharpe added. "Security has certainly been considered as part of the planning process and we've been working with Princess Anne's team as well as the RCMP and local police on this.

The visit was technically a 'secret' until we had a final sign-off and confirmation from the palace that the visit would take place." The last visit by a member of the Royal Family to Barrie was in 1901 when Duke and Duchess of York (later King George V and Queen Mary) toured the city. A reception on Oct. 22 will also take place at the Southshore Centre at 2:15 p.m. BIOGRAPHY: Princess Anne Lifetime twitter BIOGRAPHY Anne Elizabeth Alice Mountbatten-Windsor, officially styled HRH The Princess Royal, is the second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II. Princess Anne was born on 15 August 1950 at Clarence House, London when her mother was Princess Elizabeth heir presumptive. She was christened at Buckingham Palace on 21 October 1950. The Queen granted her the title the Princess Royal – the seventh holder of this title- in June 1987, her official style having previously been HRH the Princess Anne. As daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and so a princess of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, she is automatically styled Her Royal Highness.

Anne was educated at a private boarding school, Benenden School, in Kent, and began to undertake royal and official duties as a teenager in the late 1960s. She started her royal public engagements alone when she was 18-years-old and had left school. Her first solo trip occurred in 1969 when she opened an educational and training centre in Shropshire. Her first state visit happened in May that year when she travelled to Austria with her parents. She married Mark Phillips, an army officer, on 14 November, 1973, and had two children, Peter in 1977 and Zara in 1981. Anne and Mark divorced in 1992, and she married Timothy Laurence, a naval officer and former member of the Royal Household, in December 1992. Princess Anne was the target of a failed kidnap attempt in March 1974 when Ian Ball, a 26-year-old man with mental health problems, ambushed Princess Anne's car in the Mall, London. He had asked her to "come with me for a day or two" because he wanted £2m.

However, the princess was reported to have replied: "not bloody likely, and I haven't got £2m". Ball was eventually apprehended after shooting and wounding two police officers, Princess Anne's driver and a journalist who had been following in a taxi. The incident remains the closest in modern times that any individual has come to kidnapping a member of the Royal Family. Anne is an outstanding horsewoman who was selected for the British three-day eventing team for the 1975 European championships, winning silver medals both as an individual, and as part of the team. She also competed in the 1976 Montreal Olympics, and her success led to her appointment to the International Olympic Committee as an administrator, where she has reportedly made considerable efforts to fight the corruption in that organisation. She also took part in London's bid for the Olympic Games in 2012, which the country won. During the Games, she acted as a member of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games. Like most members of the Royal family, she attended all of the events that marked her mother's Diamond Jubilee in June 2012 including a boat flotilla on the River Thames as well as the Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace.

She also watched plenty of the Olympic events. On 1 August 2012, she even presented her daughter Zara with a silver medal, which she won for her role at the team event in equestrian. Anne said: "She did very well". She also treated her daughter to a kiss on both cheeks showing rare emotion. Anne also maintains a schedule of royal engagements and charity work, notably the children's charity, Save the Children, of which she has been president since 1970. Her work with the charity has seen her travel to many countries, including Indonesia, China, Cambodia, Vietnam and Botswana, to name just a few. She is the patron of more than 200 charities in total and devotes a lot of her time to them. She was also closely involved with the creation of The Princess Royal's Trust For Carers, which provides support for the millions of individuals in the UK who look after an ill loved one, as well as Transaid and Riders for Health. The two latter charities try to overcome some of the difficulties caused by poor transportation in developing countries. In 1996, Princess Anne served as Her Majesty's High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

This role granted her, in Scotland, higher precedence just below her parents. She retains close ties with Scotland by virtue of her role as patron of the Scottish Rugby Union and attends most international games at Murrayfield. Once the most unpopular member of the Royal Family in the 1970s (when she earned the nickname Princess Sourpuss), she is now one of the most popular, although she is also known for being outspoken. Princess Anne hit the headlines recently when she made a comment about her son-in-law's nose. England rugby captain Mike Tindall admitted to the crew and producers of the Sky 1 sports quiz, 'A League of Their Own', that his mother-in-law had suggested he get his nose fixed, prior to marrying her daughter Zara. He explained: "Princess Anne asked me if I'd have the surgery." Tindall and the princess were once again in the press following the rugby captain's victory against Scotland in the Six Nations tournament. As the patron of the Scottish Rugby Union, the Daily Express described Princess Anne's duty to present Tindall with the Calcutta Cup as "galling".

Ahead of the match, Tindall said: "I would love to go up there and be presented with the cup from the Princess Royal. She's very knowledgeable about the game. She probably knows more about it than me." He admitted that the pair talk about rugby and said that the Princess Royal is a follower of his club, Gloucester, although he described her as "passionate" about Scottish rugby.

Anne, Princess Royal | Military Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Religion Church of England Anne, Princess Royal KG KT GCVO QSO GCL [1] [2] (Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise; born 15 August 1950) is the second child and only daughter of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh . At the time of her birth, she was third (behind her mother and elder brother ) and rose to second (after her mother's accession) in the line of succession to the thrones of the 16 Commonwealth realms ; however, after the birth of two younger brothers, six nieces and nephews, and one grand-nephew, she is currently eleventh in line. The seventh holder of the title Princess Royal, Anne is known for her charitable work, being the patron of over 200 organisations, and she carries out about 500 royal engagements and public appearances per year. She is also known for equestrian talents; she won two silver medals (1975) and one gold medal (1971) at the European Eventing Championships , [3] and was the first member of the British Royal Family to have competed in the Olympic Games.

Currently married to Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence , she has two children from her previous marriage to Mark Phillips and two granddaughters. Contents Edit Princess Anne with her parents and older brother in October 1957 Anne was born at Clarence House on 15 August 1950 at 11:50 am, as the second child and only daughter of then Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh , and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh , and second grandchild of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth . Baptised in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace on 21 October 1950, by then Archbishop of York , Cyril Garbett , the Princess's godparents were: the Queen—later Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (her maternal grandmother); the Hereditary Princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (her paternal aunt); Princess Andrew of Greece and Denmark (her paternal grandmother); Earl Mountbatten of Burma (her paternal great-uncle); and the Hon. Rev. Andrew Elphinstone (her cousin).

[4] By letters patent of Anne's great-grandfather, King George V , the titles of a British prince or princess, and the style Royal Highness , were only to be conferred on children and male-line grandchildren of the sovereign, as well as the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales. However, on 22 October 1948, George VI issued new letters patent granting these honours to any children of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip; otherwise, Anne would merely have been titled by courtesy as Lady Anne Mountbatten. In this way, the children of the heiress presumptive had a royal and princely status. Anne and Charles with Tricia Nixon and Julie and David Eisenhower at the White House in June 1970 As with royal children before her, a governess , Catherine Peebles, was appointed to look after the Princess and was responsible for her early education at Buckingham Palace; [5] Peebles had also served as governess for Anne's older brother, Charles .

When Anne's mother acceded after the death of George VI to the throne as Queen Elizabeth II, Anne was thereafter titled as Her Royal Highness The Princess Anne, but, given her young age at the time, did not attend her mother's coronation. A Girl Guides company, the 1st Buckingham Palace Company including the Holy Trinity Brompton Brownie pack, was reformed in May 1959, specifically so that, like her mother, Anne could socialise with girls her own age. The Princess Royal was active until 1963, when she went to boarding school. [6] Anne remained under private tutelage until she was enrolled at Benenden School in 1963, leaving five years later with six GCE O-Levels and two A-Levels . [5] Anne's first boyfriend was Andrew Parker Bowles , who was Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall 's first husband. [7] Princess Anne served as a bridesmaid on several occasions. She was a bridesmaid at the 1961 wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Kent .

[8] First marriage Further information: Wedding of Princess Anne and Mark Philips and Wedding dress of Princess Anne On Wednesday, 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. [9] 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 . By 1989, however, the Princess Royal and Mark Phillips announced their intention to separate, as the marriage had been under strain for a number of years. The couple divorced on 23 April 1992. [10] It was believed[ by whom? ] that the Queen had offered Phillips an earldom on his wedding day, as was customary for untitled men marrying into the Royal Family. However, Phillips did not accept the offer.

The couple had two children, Peter Phillips and Zara Phillips , and so, unusually for the grandchildren of a monarch, they have no title. (However, they are not currently the only children of a British Princess to carry no title: the children of Princess Alexandra , the Queen's cousin, are also untitled.) On 29 December 2010, the Princess Royal became a grandmother when a daughter, Savannah , was born to her son and his wife Autumn . On 29 March 2012, another daughter, Isla , was born to the couple. Kidnapping attempt Edit 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 limousine was forced to stop by a Ford Escort . [11] The driver of the Escort, Ian Ball, jumped out and began firing a gun. Inspector James Beaton , the Princess's personal police officer, responded by exiting the limousine in order to shield the Princess 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. [12] Brian McConnell, a nearby tabloid journalist, also intervened, and was shot in the chest. [13] Ball approached the Princess's car and told her of his kidnapping plan, which was to hold the Princess for ransom, the sum given by varying sources as £2 million [14] or £3 million, which he intended to give to the National Health Service . [11] Ball then directed Anne to get out of the car, to which she replied: "Not bloody likely!", and briefly considered hitting Ball. [15] Eventually, she dived out of the other side of the limousine and another passing pedestrian, 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.

[12] All of the victims were hospitalised, and recovered from their wounds quickly. For his defence of Princess Anne, Beaton was awarded the George Cross , Hills and Russell were awarded the George Medal , and Callender, McConnell and Edmonds were awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal . [11] [16] Ball pleaded guilty to attempted murder and kidnapping, and was detained under the Mental Health Act. 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 Royals. 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 and the Antonia Fraser novel Your Royal Hostage. Second marriage Edit Anne married Timothy Laurence , then a commander in the Royal Navy, at Crathie Kirk , near Balmoral Castle , on 12 December 1992. The couple chose to marry in Scotland as the Church of England did not routinely allow divorced persons whose former spouses are still living to remarry in its churches, while the Church of Scotland did under certain circumstances.

[17] In participating in this ceremony, Anne became the first Royal divorcée to remarry since Victoria, Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine , did so in 1905. 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. Court sanctions and criminal record Edit The Princess Royal faced court charges in March 2001, when she pleaded guilty to driving at 93 mph (150 km/h) on a dual carriageway , while on her way to Hartpury College in Gloucestershire. She was fined £400 by Cheltenham Magistrate's Court, and had five points added to her driving licence. [18] The following year, she became the first senior member of the royal family to have a criminal record, after she was convicted of an offence under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 .

She pleaded guilty to the charge that her dog, Dotty, attacked two children while she and Laurence were walking the dog in Windsor Great Park . The Princess was fined £500 by Berkshire Magistrates' Court and ordered to give Dotty more training. [19] Equestrianism Edit Anne has always shown a keen interest in horses and equine pursuits. At the age of 21, the Princess won the individual title at the European Eventing Championship , and was voted the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 1971. For more than five years she also competed with the British eventing team, winning a silver medal in both individual and team disciplines in the 1975 European Eventing Championship, riding the home-bred Doublet . The following year Anne participated in the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal as a member of the British team, riding the Queen's horse, Goodwill . Princess Anne assumed the Presidency of the Fédération Équestre Internationale from 1986 until 1994.

[20] On 5 February 1987, she became the first Royal to appear as a contestant on a television quiz-show when she competed on the BBC panel game A Question of Sport . Her daughter, Zara Phillips is also a keen equestrian competitor. Together with her horse, Toytown , she won individual and team gold medals at the 2005 European Eventing Championship as well as individual gold and team silver medals at the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games . She went on to win a team silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics as a member of Great Britain Eventing Team . Official duties Edit The Princess Royal with Vladimir Putin in 2000 The Princess Royal visits the USNS Comfort on 11 July 2002, while the ship was docked in Southampton, England. As Princess Royal, Princess Anne undertakes a number of official duties on behalf of her mother, in her role as sovereign of the Commonwealth realms . Anne began to undertake official royal duties overseas upon leaving secondary school, [5] and accompanied her parents on a state visit to Austria in the same year.

[21] She will sometimes stand in for the Queen at the funerals of foreign dignitaries (which the Queen customarily does not attend), and resides at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh each summer, hosting engagements there. The Princess also travels abroad on behalf of the United Kingdom up to three times a year; she was the first member of the Royal Family to make an official visit to the USSR when she went there as a guest of the government in 1990. [21] The Princess's first tour of Australia was with her parents in 1970, since which she has returned on numerous occasions to undertake official engagements as a colonel-in-chief of an Australian regiment, or to attend memorials and services, such as the National Memorial Service for victims of the Black Saturday bushfires in Melbourne, Australia, on 22 February 2009. [22] Following the retirement of the Queen Mother in 1981, Anne was elected by graduates of the University of London as that institution's Chancellor .

Throughout May 1996, the Princess served as Her Majesty's High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland , which granted her, for the duration of the appointment, a higher precedence in Scotland, and the alternative style of Her Grace. In 2007, the Princess Royal had the honour of being appointed by the Queen as Grand Master of the Royal Victorian Order , a position her grandmother had also held. The Princess Royal carries out a full schedule of royal engagements and is involved with over 200 charities and organisations in an official capacity. She works extensively for Save the Children , of which she has been president since 1970, and she initiated The Princess Royal Trust for Carers in 1991; her work for the charity takes her all over the world, including many poverty stricken African nations. She is also the Royal Patron of WISE , an organisation that encourages young women to pursue careers in science, engineering and construction. [23] Her extensive work for St. John Ambulance as Commandant-in-Chief of St. John Ambulance Cadets has helped to develop many young people, as she annually attends the Grand Prior Award Reception.

She is also a British representative in the International Olympic Committee as an administrator, and was a member of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games . She was President of BAFTA from 1973 to 2001. She is also a Royal Fellow of the Royal Society. Royal Fellows are members of the Monarchy who are recommended and elected by the Society's Council. There are currently only five Royal Fellows, including The Princess Royal herself, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Kent, and The Duke of Cambridge. The Princess Royal attended Royal Variety Performance show on behalf of the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund On 5 December 2011.

Princess Anne at 60: Even more regal than Mum Princess Anne at 60: Even more regal than Mum Princess Anne at 60: Even more regal than Mum Blackleaf #1Aug 15th, 2010 Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth's II only daughter, today celebrates her 60th birthday. The Princess Royal was born on 15th August 1950 at Clarence House in central London which adjoins St James's Palace and which became the home of her grandmother, the Queen Mother, from 1953 until her death in 2002. Today, Anne - a former Olympian - is one of the more popular members of the Royal Family. She is also thought to be the most hardworking royal.

To celebrate the occasion a new photographic portrait of her has been produced, in which she poses in a striking red dress. She posed for the portrait at her home Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire last month just before she embarked on a ten day cruise in the Outer Hebrides with her mother, father and several other members of her family. Anne, who usually tries to stay away the limelight as best she can, has said that she just wants to spend today with her family. Next month she is to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace. The party will have 500 guests - every one a worker for the charities she supports. The title of Princess Royal dates back to the 17th Century when Queen Henrietta Maria, the French wife of the ill-fated King Charles I of England and mother of the future King Charles II, wanted to imitate the way the eldest daughter of the King of France was styled "Madame Royale". Henrietta Maria (who probably helped to start the English Civil War by flagrantly and unapologetically practising her Catholicism in front of the Protestant English) was the daughter of the French king Henri IV.

Princess Anne is only the seventh person to be given the title since it was created in 1642. She was given it in 1987. The title is given only to the British monarch's eldest (or only) daughter. Anne is a keen horsewoman. In 1971, at the age of 21, she won the individual title at the European Eventing Championship, and was voted the BBC Sports Personality of the Year that year. Her daughter, Zara Phillips, also a horsewoman, won the BBC Sports Personality of the year in 2006 for winning the World Championship in Aachen. She is currently the Eventing World Champion. In the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Anne was a member of the British team, riding the Queen's horse, Goodwill. Princess Anne is also a keen pharologist, which means she has an obession with lighthouses. Her ambition is to visit all of Scotland's 208 lighthouses, of which she has already visited many. She is also the patron of Scotland's national rugby union team and often greets the team before matches.

Here, Anne is pictured at home in Gatcombe Park, Gloucestershire. The photograph was taken last month shortly before she and other family members embarked on a ten-day cruise around the Outer Hebrides. That holiday, on board the Queenï¿½s favourite ship, the Hebridean Princess, was all the celebration Anne really wanted to mark her 60th, which falls today. According to a friend, she would have spent the cruise happily spotting lighthouses.

Sheï¿½s bagged pretty much half of Scotlandï¿½s 208 lighthouses and the prospect of another one or two constituted all the birthday treat she wanted.ï¿½ Anne has made it clear that she wants to spend today quietly with the family.

Unadorned save for her wedding band and engagement ring, they are those of a woman used to controlling half a ton of horse. However regal her pose, it is hard to avoid the suspicion that behind the smile is an impatient desire to get up, get changed, get this birthday fuss over with and get on. The title of "Princess Royal" Henrietta Maria, the daughter of King Henri IV of France, the wife of King Charles I of England and the mother of King Charles II of England not only helped start the English Civil War but also coined the title of "Princess Royal". Princess Anne is the seventh member of the Royal Family to be given the title of Princess Royal. The title dates back to the 17th Century when Queen Henrietta Maria, the French wife of King Charles I of England and mother of the future King Charles II, wanted to imitate the way the eldest daughter of the King of France was styled "Madame Royale".

Henrietta Maria was the daughter of King Henri IV of France (meaning England's King Charles II was his grandson), the sister of King Louis XIII of France (King Charles II was his nephew) and the aunt of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France (King Charles II was his cousin). In 1642, therefore, her and Charles I's daughter, Mary, became the first person to be given the title of Princess Royal. The style is granted by Royal Warrant. Two women have been eligible to receive the title but were not given it: Princess Mary (the future Queen Mary II), the eldest daughter of King James II, did not receive the title as she was already Princess of Orange, and Princess Sophia Dorothea, the only daughter of King George I, as she was already Queen of Prussia. Here are all the women who were given the title "Princess Royal": 1642-1660 − Princess Mary (1631ï¿½1660): eldest daughter of King Charles I (d.

1649); wife (1641) of William II, Prince of Orange (1626ï¿½1650) 1727-1759 − Princess Anne (1709ï¿½1759): eldest daughter of King George II (d. 1760); wife (1734) of William IV, Prince of Orange (1711ï¿½1751) 1789-1828 − Princess Charlotte (1766ï¿½1828 ): eldest daughter of King George III (d. 1820); wife (1797) of Frederick I, King of Wï¿½rttemberg (1754ï¿½1816) 1841-1901 − Princess Victoria (1840ï¿½1901): eldest daughter of Queen Victoria (d.

1901); heiress presumptive 1840-1841; wife (1858 ) of Frederick III, German Emperor and King of Prussia (1831ï¿½1888 ) 1905-1931 − Princess Louise (1867ï¿½1931): eldest daughter of King Edward VII (d. 1910); wife (1889) of Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife (1849ï¿½1912) 1932-1965 − Princess Mary (1897ï¿½1965): only daughter of King George V (d.

1936); wife (1922) of Henry Lascelles, 6th Earl of Harewood (1882ï¿½1947) 1987ï¿½Present − Princess Anne (born 1950): only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II; wife firstly (1973ï¿½1992) of Mark Phillips (born 1948 ) and secondly (1992) of Timothy Laurence (born 1955) dailymail.co.uk Princess Anne at 60: Even more regal than Mum | Daily Mail Online Princess Anne at 60: Even more regal than Mum comments Those close to the Princess Royal knows that she would rather buy oats for her horses than splash out on a new frock.
