List of titles and honours of Anne, Princess Royal explained

Anne, Princess Royal has received numerous titles, decorations, and honorary appointments as a member of the British royal family and the sister of King Charles III of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. Each is listed below; where two dates are shown, the first indicates the date of receiving the title or award (the title as Princess Anne of Edinburgh being given as from her birth) and the second indicates the date of its loss or renunciation.

Royal and noble titles and styles

Royal Name:Anne, Princess Royal
Dipstyle:Her Royal Highness
Offstyle:Your Royal Highness

From birth, thanks to letters patent issued by her grandfather George VI on 22 October 1948, Anne was a British princess with the style of Royal Highness and the territorial designation "of Edinburgh". Upon her mother's accession to the throne in 1952, the territorial designation was dropped and she became styled as "The Princess Anne". After she married Captain Mark Phillips in 1973, she was styled as "The Princess Anne, Mrs Mark Phillips" until her mother created her Princess Royal, an appellation given only to the eldest daughter of the sovereign, on 13 June 1987. Anne is the seventh Princess Royal since the title was first granted to Mary, daughter of Charles I.[3] The previous holder was Anne's great-aunt Mary, daughter of George V. Although she holds the style of Princess Royal, as the wife of Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, she is entitled to use the style of Lady Laurence, because the wife of a knight may prefix Lady to the knight's surname.[4]
