Princess Anne is referred to as the The Princess Royal, the second child and only daughter of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. She was born at Clarence House, London, on the 15th August 1950, when her mother was Princess Elizabeth and heir to the throne. She was baptised Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise at Buckingham Palace on 21st October 1950. The title Princess Royal was received from The Queen in June 1987; she was previously known as Princess Anne. Her Royal Highness is the seventh holder of the title and she is associated with over 200 charities and organisations in an official capacity, to all of which she devotes a large part of her working life.

In addition to working for her charities and regiments both at home and overseas, Her Royal Highness carries out up to three overseas tours each year for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in support of British interests overseas. In 1990 she became the first member of the Royal Family to make an official visit to the former USSR, as a guest of the Soviet government. She also carries out a very wide range of official duties and visits in the United Kingdom in support of regional authorities and local institutions. The Princess Royal is also a British representative in the International Olympic Committee. She took part in London's successful bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games and she is now a member of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games.
