Princess Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence have just marked a particularly special occasion at home.
- This month saw Princess Anne and her husband celebrate a special occasion as he turned 66 on Monday.
- It’s understood the royal couple are in lockdown at their Gloucestershire home and they've recently given royal fans a rare glimpse inside.
- In other royal news, the Queen saved Princess Diana’s friend from a prison sentence by sharing this simple memory.
Princess Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence reside at the stunning Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire. It is understood that the royal couple have been spending the UK’s third lockdown here together. The Queen’s daughter has recently spoken out in a rare podcast appearance about the “devasting” impact illness has had upon Her Majesty’s horses.
As a former Olympic rider, Princess Anne undoubtedly shares her mother’s passion for horses. She will likely have been just as delighted as the Queen to hear confirmation that The Royal Windsor Horse Show, a favored summer event, will return later this year. But whilst the show in July might be something to look forward to for mother and daughter alike, Princess Anne will have celebrated a particularly wonderful family occasion on Monday.
The Princess Royal’s husband Sir Timothy Laurence turned 66 on March 1. The couple, who will have been married for 29 years this December, will no doubt have found a wonderful way to celebrate at home at Gatcombe Park.

Early last month, Princess Anne and Sir Timothy shared a rare insight into their Gloucestershire home. A post shared on the official Royal Family Instagram account showed the pair settled in their cosy-looking living room, watching the rugby.
‘As @scotlandteam Patron, The Princess Royal often supports the team from the stands’, the caption stated.
‘Her Royal Highness and Vice Admiral Sir Tim cheered Scotland on from home today as they played England for the Calcutta Cup, 150 years since their first match🏆 ‘.
This fascinating glimpse gave royal fans an idea of the couple’s pastimes and decoration preferences. It seems they are fans of a few floral touches!
Who is Princess Anne’s husband?
Retired Royal Navy Officer Sir Timothy Laurence was once equerry to the Queen. He and Princess Anne married in December 1992, tying the knot in a stunning ceremony held at Crathie Parish Church near the Queen's Balmoral Estate in Scotland.
Princess Anne was previously married to Captain Mark Phillips, with whom she had two children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall. Last year Zara’s husband Mike Tindall revealed that they are expecting their third child. Their new baby will make Princess Anne a proud grandmother of five.
Zara and Mike live in a property on the estate, as do Peter and Autumn Phillips. However, following the sad news of Autumn and Peter's split, it's been reported that the pair now live in separate properties there.
We’re sure Princess Anne can’t wait to be reunited with her grandchildren later this year.
