Princess Anne Poses Alongside Lingerie in Unusual Royal Outing

by

Princess Anne shared a stripped-down look at her passions.

The 75-year-old, in her capacity as president of the U.K. Fashion and Textile Association, recently visited the workshop of luxury lingerie brand Edge o’ Beyond in Caerphilly, South Wales.

Princess Anne cheerfully posed for a photo beside a display of lingerie during her visit on September 15th. She was there to unveil a plaque honoring her visit, which read, “to commemorate the visit of HRH the Princess Royal.”

Visiting Princess Anne was a delightful experience for everyone involved. Naomi De Haan, the founder of the brand, shared with *The Telegraph* that the Princess was both approachable and genuinely curious about everything she saw.

She said it was a great honour to have Her Royal Highness visit their workshop. The team was particularly inspired by the Princess’s knowledge of and interest in fashion and fabrics, as she shared in an article published on September 22nd.

She explained that the visit highlighted the incredible talent of their technicians and celebrated the continued tradition of British lingerie making.

Naomi mentioned she had a valuable conversation with the royal about significant issues, including the challenges of advertising due to the censorship of women’s bodies.

Ultimately, the businesswoman shared that the royal “came across as very feminist.”

This isn’t the first time Princess Anne has been in the spotlight lately. Last month, she and her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, sat for a royal portrait, and to celebrate her 75th birthday year, she swapped her usual hairstyle for a full, low bun.

Royal photographer Chris Jackson shared a new official portrait he took of Princess Anne and Sir Tim at Windsor Castle to celebrate her 75th birthday. Jackson previously photographed Queen Camilla for her 78th birthday as well. He posted the photo on Instagram with the message, “Happy 75th Birthday!”

I was absolutely devastated when I heard the news about the Duchess of York! Apparently, some old email from 2011 surfaced – she called Jeffrey Epstein a ‘friend’ in it, and because of that, they dropped her as a patron of Julia’s House in September 2025. It’s just… unbelievable. I always admired her work with the charity, and now this! It’s heartbreaking, honestly.

After reports surfaced this weekend about the Duchess of York’s communication with Jeffrey Epstein, Julia’s House has decided it’s no longer appropriate for her to continue her role as a patron of the charity. The charity has informed the Duchess of this decision and expressed gratitude for her previous contributions, according to The Guardian.

A representative for Ferguson stated that the email was sent following a threat made against her by Epstein.

It was so wonderful to see Prince Harry back at Clarence House today! After 19 months, I finally saw photos of him arriving – he seemed to be heading in to see his father, the King, before continuing with his day. It really felt like a significant moment, and I’m hoping it’s a step towards healing any rifts.

Harry arrived at the house around 5:20 p.m. on September 10th, but Charles had come back just a few hours earlier.

Princess Anne’s son and his former husband, Mark Phillips, announced their engagement to Harriet Sperling on August 1st. The couple had been dating for over a year.

The couple’s representative told Hello! magazine that both families were told about the engagement at the same time and were very happy about it.

Just a day before turning 78, the royal was made an honorary Vice Admiral by the Royal Navy.

As a lifestyle expert, I find it fascinating to share unique historical tidbits! Many people don’t realize Camilla holds a really special, and quite rare, honorary title. It’s the first time a woman has received it! What makes it even more interesting is *how* it’s given – only the monarch, in this case her husband King Charles III, can appoint someone, but only after a nomination from the First Sea Lord. Currently, that’s Sir Gwyn Jenkins, by the way.

Just hours before she was scheduled to attend, Princess Catherine canceled her appearance at Royal Ascot, according to Kensington Palace.

The palace says Kate was sad to miss the event, but she’s still working out how to best manage her public appearances as she recovers from cancer.

Prince Harry’s lawsuit seeking extra security ended on May 2nd when the courts rejected his claim. This came more than a year after a previous request for increased protection was denied by the High Court’s Royal and VIP Executive Committee.

After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stopped being full-time working royals in 2021 and moved to the US, their security arrangements were reduced. Since then, Harry has asked for continued security protection during his visits to the UK.

Prince Harry told the BBC on May 2nd that he was deeply upset by the outcome of his recent legal fight. He stated that, as things currently stand, he doesn’t foresee returning to the UK with his wife and children.

In an interview with the BBC on May 2nd, Prince Harry explained that his father, King Charles III, isn’t currently speaking to him due to disagreements about security arrangements. He expressed hope that they could resolve their differences and rebuild their relationship.

Prince Harry expressed a desire to rebuild his relationship with his family, including his father, but indicated the next step depends on his dad. He shares two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with Meghan.

As someone who’s always valued roots and family, it’s honestly heartbreaking to say I don’t foresee moving back to the U.K. with my wife and kids anytime soon. It really gets to me that my children won’t have the chance to experience and connect with the country I grew up in – it’s something I’d always imagined sharing with them.

Harry explained that his father has significant influence and could potentially solve the situation. He suggested this wouldn’t require direct involvement, but rather allowing professionals to handle things without interference.

I’ve been following this situation for a long time, and it’s incredible to see him finally trying to make peace after all these years of fighting. He recently said something that really struck me – he emphasized how valuable life is, and that he doesn’t know how much time he has left with his father. It’s a really moving reason to seek reconciliation, and I truly hope it works.

More than a year after revealing his cancer diagnosis, King Charles wrote on April 29th that going through treatment has highlighted the kindness and goodness of people.

In a booklet offering support to cancer patients, Charles wrote that receiving a diagnosis is understandably scary for individuals and their families. However, drawing from his own experience, he emphasized that it can also reveal incredible kindness and strength in others.

He expressed his gratitude to the healthcare workers who cared for him, and shared that the experience deepened his respect for the incredible work done by the organizations and people present, many of whom he’s known and supported for years.

Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – were absent from the royal family’s traditional Easter service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor on April 20th.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla joined the rest of the royal family in celebrations, but Prince William and Kate chose to spend the weekend at their country home in Norfolk with their children, according to several news sources.

This was the second Easter the couple missed. It happened just a week after Princess Catherine shared news of her cancer diagnosis.

On April 15th, Jason Knauf was named the new CEO of The Earthshot Prize, Prince William’s environmental organization. In a statement on the organization’s website, Knauf expressed his excitement about collaborating with the team and community to further their goal of inspiring hopeful action for the planet.

He was promoted almost seven years after he raised concerns about Meghan Markle, claiming she bullied two personal assistants and tried to discredit another staff member. Representatives for the Sussexes denied these claims, telling *The Times* the story was a deliberate attempt to damage their reputation with false and harmful information.

Buckingham Palace looked into the claims, but the investigation concluded in 2022 with no public report of its findings.

William and Kate’s eldest son George attended a soccer match in Paris alongside his dad April 7. 

A father and son were visibly happy while watching the UEFA Champions League Quarter Final match between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa at Parc des Princes stadium.

Graham Craker, a former bodyguard to Prince Harry and Prince William, passed away in April at the age of 77.

Craker was with Princes William and Harry when they found out their mother, Princess Diana, had passed away, and he was also present at her funeral.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! I was actually *there* when they took her away. I was standing near the back of the hearse, and Prince William… he *looked* at me. He actually *saw* me and gave me this little nod. It was like… he knew I was there to support his mum on her last ride, and it genuinely seemed to comfort him. I swear, it was such a powerful moment, just knowing I could offer some small bit of support to him during that incredibly difficult time. I’ll never forget it!

Hugh and Olivia Grosvenor, who is the godson of King Charles III, shared the happy news on March 12th that they are expecting their first child.

Oh my gosh, you guys, I just heard the *best* news! Apparently, the Duchess is pregnant! A spokesperson told *The Telegraph* – can you believe it?! – that she’s due in the summer. They’re absolutely thrilled, and I’m seriously bursting with happiness for them! They’re going to be parents! I’m already imagining the little one… it’s just… everything!

Oh my god, I’m absolutely heartbroken. Prince Frederik… he was only 22! It’s just so unfair. He was the son of Prince Robert and Princess Julie, and he lost his life on March 1st after fighting this awful disease, PolG mitochondrial disease. It’s so rare and cruel, and I can’t even imagine how devastating this must be for his family and everyone who loved him. He was so young… it’s just… awful.

Robert shared that Frederik is like a superhero to his family, friends, and now, thanks to his PolG Foundation, to people all over the world. Robert explained that Frederik’s strength came from his ability to inspire others and lead through his own actions.

 

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, reached a legal settlement with News Group Newspapers – the company behind both *The Sun* and the now-closed *News of the World* – on January 22nd. He had sued the organization in 2019, claiming that journalists and investigators working for its newspapers illegally obtained information about the royal family.

According to NBC News, the settlement involved the company paying a significant amount in damages and offering Harry a complete and sincere apology. They also publicly admitted to the widespread and damaging coverage of both his and Princess Diana’s private lives.

On January 14th, The Princess of Wales shared the wonderful news that her cancer treatment has been successful and she is now in remission.

She announced on X (formerly Twitter) on January 14th that her cancer is in remission and she’s concentrating on getting better. She added that, like anyone facing a cancer diagnosis, she’s still adjusting to life after it.

She added that she’s excited about the year ahead and optimistic about what’s to come.

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is grieving the loss of her rescue beagle, whom she adopted in 2015, before she met Prince Harry.

On January 7th, she shared a heartfelt message on Instagram about crying so much that it felt overwhelming. She described trying to wash away her tears in the shower, hoping to numb the pain or pretend it wasn’t there, but acknowledging that it’s okay to feel those emotions anyway.

Meghan lovingly remembered her dog, Guy, saying, “Thank you for always loving me, my sweet boy. You brought so much joy to my life.”

 

Edward Pettifer, the stepson of Prince William and Prince Harry’s former nanny, Tiggy Legge-Bourke (also known as Alexandra Pettifer), was a victim of the terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day.

Prince William and Catherine were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Ed Pettifer. In a message shared on Kate Middleton’s Instagram on January 4th, Prince William said their thoughts are with the Pettifer family and everyone affected by this terrible tragedy.

Meghan Markle, known for her role on the TV show *Suits*, launched a new Instagram account on January 1st. She had previously closed her personal social media accounts before marrying Prince Harry in 2018.

The next day, she revealed a new Netflix series called *With Love, Meghan*. A press release described the show as a fresh take on lifestyle programs, combining helpful tips and honest chats with both familiar and new friends.

In June 2025, Prince William and Kate Middleton made a rare public appearance with their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, at Wimbledon.

The family shared on Instagram how happy they were to be back at Wimbledon for the Championships finals this weekend. They congratulated Iga Świątek and Jannik Sinner on their victories and thanked everyone who helped make the tournament so wonderful.
