Why Princess Anne Will Remain Princess Royal For Years To Come (Bustle)

In the hours following Queen Elizabeth II's passing, major changes occurred within the royal family. Not only for King Charles III but for the now heir ...

And due to Phillips not having a title, Princess Anne’s children — Peter and [Zara Phillips](https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/zara-tindall-has-welcomed-her-third-child) — have also grown up without royal titles. But as it’s not a hereditary title, it’ll all depend on whether William chooses to bestow the title of Princess Royal upon her. Not only for [King Charles III](https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/king-charles-iii-reign-residence-currency-working-royals-policies) but for the now heir apparent [William, Prince of Wales](https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/when-will-prince-william-kate-middleton-be-king-queen) and Duke of Cambridge and Cornwall. Anne took on the title from Princess Mary, the eldest and only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, who held it between 1932 to 1965. As you may have noticed, the titles for the Queen’s younger children have not changed, including [Anne, Princess Royal](https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/princess-anne-named-britains-hardest-working-royal-2021).

Is Princess Anne Married? (Distractify)

Queen Elizabeth II's daughter, Anne, Princess Royal, has had an interesting love life. Is she married now? And will she take the queen's place?

However, once the dust settled on the scandal, Anne divorced Mark and married Timothy in a private ceremony on Dec. However, Anne isn’t next in line for the throne. Due to Anne being legally married to Mark, Timothy reportedly sent the princess “four intimate letters” that soon became public fodder. The law changed in 2013, noting that the new succession will prioritize someone’s birth order, not gender. As their eldest child and only daughter, Anne developed a reputation for being the family’s worker bee and has long been responsible for the royal family’s well-being. Per [Brides magazine](https://www.brides.com/princess-anne-relationship-timeline-5190216), Anne and Andrew casually dated until he married Camilla in 1973. In May 1973, Captain Mark proposed to Anne with a dazzling sapphire ring.
