Anne is known, primarily, for her dedication to the royal family and the monarchy at large.
But how has being a princess impacted Anne’s freedom and her ability to make her own choices?
Here are things that Princess Anne has not been allowed to do.
Hardly the sort of thing you would volunteer to do.
But her status as a high-profile royal never came to an end.
Princess Anne might beQueen Elizabeth’s second child, but she isnowherenear close to the British throne.
As it turns out, it all has to do with her gender.
As noted byCheat Sheet, Anne was just 2 years old when Elizabeth took the throne.
It is a small example of just how distant Anne was from the still-reigning monarch.
Why would someone so far away from the British throne warrant such prominent security when in public?
For Anne, the answer strikes close to home.
As noted by theIndependent, Anne was the subject of a kidnapping attempt back in March 1974.
Required security, therefore, is a smart move.
As such, Anne and Andrew called it quits.
She went on to marry her first husband, Mark Phillips, and he went on to marry Camilla.
The couple remain together to this day.
