Humanitarian of the Week: HRH Anne, The Princess Royal

The second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Her Royal Highness, Anne, The Princess Royal is known for her bravery, her love of horses and her loyalty to Britain. Being a princess hasn’t made life terrible easy for Anne who has struggled with a variety of issues throughout her life, including a kidnapping attempt and divorce. Nonetheless, she’s risen above all of it so that she can continue to work to better her nation and its people.


The Princess Royal is the patron of over 200 organizations. Her interests include the welfare of Britain’s children, preserving the nation’s 215 lighthouses, providing services to the deaf, blind and disabled, and assisting people who have been badly burned.

While power and position could have made Princess Anne into a cold and detached Royal, she remains approachable and actively involved in her efforts to make the world as comfortable as possible for all manner of people.
