Based on her taste in sunglasses alone, Princess Anne is the coolest member of the royal family (don't believe me? keep swiping). And now that The Crown is coming back for its sixth and final season—where Princess Anne is being played by Claudia Harrison—you might find yourself wondering what the Princess Royal is like in real life. Answer: iconic. From childhood photos of Anne literally trying to escape her parents by climbing out of palace windows, to more than one photo of her barely tolerating Prince King Charles, to snapshots from her teenage years (she wasn't like the other girls!), we've scoured through hundreds-upon-hundreds of Princess Anne pics to bring you highlights. And honestly, society has been sleeping on Anne's fashion this entire time. Her assortment of hats? Simply glorious.
Scroll through for a veritable cornucopia of Princess Anne content as you prepare for the sixth season of The Crown/Charles's coronation this weekend where ya might just see her IRL. And before we go, Anne had this to say about the show back in 2020: "I don’t watch Netflix and The Crown, but the actress was talking about how long it took them to do their hair like I did. And I'm thinking, 'How could you possibly take that long?' I mean, it takes me 10 or 15 minutes."
Legend!
