Princess Anne
Her companionship at Royal Ascot once caused gossip

From 20th to 24th June 2023 the traditional horse race Royal Ascot will take place once again. One of the most important events of the year for the British royal family, this time the Royals are taking part for the first time without Queen Elizabeth, † 96. Five years ago, her only daughter Princess Anne, 72, caused whispers at the big event.

Princess Anne’s accompaniment at Royal Ascot once caused a lot of conversation

Because Princess Anne appeared at Ascot accompanied by none other than Andrew Parker Bowles, 83 – the ex-husband of Queen Camilla, 75. As the Australian royal expert Angela Mollard knows, according to the British “Express”, Princess Anne and Andrew Parker Bowles having an affair in the 1970s. Due to their shared passion for horses, the two are said to have remained closely connected even after their liaison. We want them to enjoy watching the exclusive Ascot horse race every year. King Charles’ sister, 74, and Camilla’s ex-husband have now attended the opening day of what is arguably Britain’s largest equestrian event.

Queen Elizabeth’s daughter is happily married

According to Mollard, Andrew Parker Bowles was said to have been a man who loved several women. Princess Anne has found happiness anyway: since 1992 she has been happily married to Timothy Laurence, 68, in her second marriage.

Her first marriage to Mark Phillips, 74, with whom she has children Peter, 45, and Zara Tindall, 42, ended in divorce that same year. Queen Camilla and Andrew Parker Bowles’ marriage broke up in 1995. They also have two children together: Laura, 45, and Tom, 48. Ten years later, in 2005, she walked down the aisle a second time and married her great love: King Charles.
