Prince Charles penned a
sweet tribute to his sister Princess Anne on Monday to mark her 72nd
birthday.
Taking to the official
Instagram account for Clarence House, the royal shared a heartfelt message
which read: “Happy birthday to The Princess Royal!”. The message was
shared alongside a photo of the Queen’s only daughter looking lovely in a lilac
ensemble.
The candid portrait was taken
at the Not Forgotten Association Garden Party at Buckingham Palace back in May.
Prince Charles wasn’t the only
royal to send their well-wishes to the 17th in line to the throne. The Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge shared a radiant snap of the Princess Royal enjoying a day
at the races, along with the caption: “Wishing a very happy birthday to
The Princess Royal today!”
The 72-year-old’s birthday
comes after a jam-packed year of royal engagements. Following the Queen’s
ongoing mobility issues, Princess Anne has taken on an increasing amount of
extra work. And last month, the monarch’s second eldest paid a visit Chester
House Estate to open a new heritage site.

Prince Charles penned a sweet message
Princess Anne donned a
stunning black and white dress which she paired with a lovely, tailored jacket.
She accessorized her outfit with layered pearl necklaces and matching pearl
earrings.
The Royal Family’s official
Instagram post shared a photograph of Anne’s visit, explaining: “The
Princess Royal meets some Roman Centurions during a visit to @chesterhouse_uk
to officially open the site, which has recently undergone a £15m
restoration project.
“A nationally significant
heritage site, the Chester House Estate is one of the few places in the UK
which can demonstrate over 10,000 years of human activity.
“Following restoration,
the site has been developed into a sustainable visitor destination with access
for the public to learn about the history and heritage, as well as becoming the
location to house countywide archaeological finds.”
