Born in 1950, Anne has proven herself committed to performing her royal duties without fail.
PerPeople, the pair tied the knot in 1992, and have since enjoyed a blissful marriage.
Yet, a lot of differences remain, one of which is the princess' love for horses.
But outside of being Princess Anne’s husband, who is Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence?
Four years later, in 1977, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant.
He also served on many ships and commanded a few, including the HMS Cumberland and HMS Boxer.
In August 2010, he retired from the navy and now focuses primarily on charitable interests.
The couple separated four years later, eventually divorcing in 1992.
That same year, Princess Anne got married to Sir Laurence his first and only marriage.
Through the years, Laurence has joined Princess Anne as she goes about her many royal duties.
This, apparently, earned him favor with Queen Elizabeth, who never failed to show it.
Ahead of the occasion, the palace announced that only working royals would be allowed on the balcony.
Exceptions were made for Laurence, however, as well as some of the queen’s great-grandchildren.
Even in the toughest times, Princess Anne can clearly count on Sir Laurence for strength!
