Anne, Princess Royal, is the second child and only daughter of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. When she was born, she was in the second line of succession to the thrones of the 16 Commonwealth realms; but, after the birth of two younger brothers, six nieces and nephews, and one grand-nephew, she is currently eleventh in line. She is known for her exceptional charity work that is spread across the world and is the benefactor of over 200 charitable organizations. She is a remarkably good horseback rider and has won two silver medals and one gold medal at the European Eventing Championships and was the first member of the British Royal Family to have competed in the Olympic Games.
