A BIRTHDAY SHE WILL NEVER FORGET! Princess Anne Moved to Tears by Heartfelt Message from Prince William and Princess Catherine on Her 75th
Princess Anne, the ever-resilient and composed Princess Royal, revealed a rare moment of emotion on her milestone 75th birthday, as she was visibly moved by a touching tribute from Prince William and Princess Catherine. The heartfelt gesture left royal fans around the world captivated.
While many members of the Royal Family were attending VJ Day commemorations, the Prince and Princess of Wales took a moment to share a personal birthday message that struck a chord with Anne. Resharing the Princess Royal’s official birthday portrait, the royal couple wrote:
“Wishing Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal a very Happy 75th Birthday!”
Fans were quick to respond online, praising both the message and Anne herself. Comments flooded social media, with one admirer writing, “As always, a lovely and gracious post from our Prince and Princess of Wales.” Another noted, “She is so elegant and beautiful! Age is just a number. A very happy birthday to her.”
A third fan expressed heartfelt wishes, “I hope that she has an absolutely lovely day and I hope that you get to spend some time with her soon,” while another added, “What a beautiful photo and outfit. Wishing HRH The Princess Royal a very Happy Birthday.”
This thoughtful gesture follows a similar move by William and Kate last year, when they shared a selection of treasured photographs of Anne, originally shared by King Charles and Queen Camilla. Highlights included a black-and-white snapshot of a young Charles and Anne enjoying a picnic at Royal Lodge in 1954, and a radiant image of Anne at a Buckingham Palace garden party in 2023.
The birthday montage also featured a significant moment captured ahead of King Charles’ coronation, showing him presenting the New Sovereign’s Standard to the Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons alongside his sister.

A Stunning Birthday Portrait
The Princess Royal’s 75th birthday was officially marked with a gorgeous portrait. Anne wore a royal blue dress adorned with contrasting white buttons, collars, and cuffs, smiling gracefully by a window outside her Gatcombe Park home. The portrait, taken by celebrated photographer John Swannell at her Gloucestershire estate last month, perfectly captured the Princess’ elegance and enduring poise.
Despite the milestone, Anne reportedly requested a quiet celebration, telling aides she was only interested in marking a birthday with a “zero,” rather than celebrating the “fives.”
The Princess is spending her special day privately with her husband of 33 years, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, as the couple reportedly enjoys their annual sailing holiday around the Western Isles of Scotland.
Royal commentators say this moment is a rare glimpse into Princess Anne’s personal life, showing that beneath the public composure lies a deeply emotional and cherished family bond.
