Lovely photo of Anne. What is the story on the tiara? Is it hers or borrowed from the Queen?

For her wedding in 1973 Princess Anne wore Queen Mary's Fringe Tiara, borrowed from the Queen Mother.

The photo of Mark and Anne that Nellie kindly posted is my favorite of them.

The portrait with Mark Phillips for their engagement was by Norman Parkinson who produced a number of portraits of Anne with great success.

In the engagement portrait Anne wears a tiara given to her for, I think, launching a ship. (Someone will know the full details which I can't find right now.) That tiara was worn by Autumn for her wedding to Peter.

Thanks Nellie, I haven't viewed either of these photos before. Anne was simply beautiful when she was a young woman, she looks absolutely regal. She's carried on throughout her years.

I think a portrait depends so much on lighting and angles.
This is an occasion when I could tolerate the expression glossy locks.

Yes, an occasion where the term really applies. Another photo I've haven't viewed before and it's a nice one. Thanks Nellie.

Just as a contrast in royal photographers.

Another beautiful portrait of HRH. Every photographer has his/her own methods.

Thank you for all of the wonderful photos of Anne. She has lovely hair, but I prefer it in an updo. That suits her personality I think.

I found details of this tiara in the The Royal Watcher blog.

Quote -
When Princess Anne launched the tanker ‘World Unicorn’ in May 1973, she was presented with this spectacular Diamond Festoon Tiara from the World Wide Shipping Group, which came at an opportune time as she announced her Engagement to Mark Phillips that month. The antique Tiara was likely created at the turn of the century and acquired by the World Wide Shipping Group ahead of being given to the Princess.

Thank you for all of the photos, Nellie. I love that Diamond Festoon Tiara. It is just enough. Not too heavy to wear either. It looks so pretty against her dark hair.
