While doing a deep dive into all of the titles that the members of the royal family could receive when Prince William becomes sovereign, we began thinking about an old tweet regarding Princess Anne that we stumbled across last year on the Royal Family’s official Twitter account.
In honor of the princess’s 70th birthday (August 15), the account took its followers on a trip down memory lane and shared a variety of facts about Anne’s royal life. One tweet read, “HRH The Princess Anne was named The Princess Royal, a title traditionally bestowed upon the eldest daughter of The Sovereign, in 1987. HRH is the seventh Princess Royal, following Princess Mary, the only daughter of King George V.”
