Princess Anne
Charles & Anne: In the Shadow of the Crown
The current British monarchy is a glorious one, but it has also been a shaky one. 1992 was a year of disrepute for the Royal Family. Princess Anne, the Queen's only eldest daughter, and Prince Charles, first in line to the throne, paid a huge price for the preservation of a fragile monarchy, a price that had been foreordained from the moment they were born.
Prince Philip: Enigma
From military service to the royal family, Prince Philip is not your run of the mill stiff upper lip royalty by any means. Walking two steps behind Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth ever since she became Queen in 1952, Philips's loyalty and service are undoubted. For many years before then and many years since he has been the supporting man, husband and father that the Royal Family has needed him to be. For over six decades he has fulfilled his duty as Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Over the years his personality has shone through in his charitable work and public appearances. His quick wit and charm have endeared him to many– and sometimes got him into trouble, but he will always be admired for his service to both the queen and country.
Becoming the Princess Royal
Princess Anne is the second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, born on 15 August 1950 at Clarence House in London. Known for her no nonsense attitude, the princess has garnered a very well-deserved reputation for hard work, and commitment to her charitable causes. Her elder brother’s role was, of course, predestined, but hers was not. With slim chances of ever wearing the crown, Anne was left to figure out her own destiny. We take a look back at the life and passions of the young Princess, from her life as a little girl in England, tending to her ponies, to her time as an accomplished Olympic Equestrian. We take a royal tour around her romances, separations and scandals, as the young Anne sets about becoming the princess royal.
Heir & Spare: Charles & Anne
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but heavier is the burden of being next in line. The British Royal family is built on the traditional duty until death. For every heir to the throne, there is a spare. Charles knew he’d become King, following in his mother's footsteps, leaving his sister Anne behind. Despite their close childhood bond, becoming the reigning Monarch would definitely divide the pair. When one steps up, the other must step back.
