Princess Anne, considered one of the most hardworking members of the royal family, turns 74. This milestone is a testament to her unwavering commitment to public service, charity work and her tireless dedication to the British monarchy. Over the years, she has become a role model for the principles of duty and responsibility that characterize her role in the royal family.

Born on 15 August 1950, the second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Anne has been in the spotlight from the very beginning. Known for her outspoken manner and strong work ethic, she has earned considerable respect within the royal family and the public at large.

Her commitment to various causes is demonstrated by her active involvement in numerous charitable and military organizations. In 2023 alone, she took part in 457 public engagements, earning her the title of the most hard-working royal for the third year in a row, according to The Telegraph.

Princess Anne is part of a family of four children: Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward. Unlike her brothers, who were born at Buckingham Palace, Princess Anne made her debut at Clarence House as the palace was undergoing renovations after World War II.

After her birth, Prince Philip reportedly shared her joy by announcing that they had welcomed “the cutest little girl.” From an early age, Princess Anne developed a strong love for horses and became a skilled equestrian throughout her life.
