Princess Anne & Captain Mark Philips 1973

[pdas1201]

I absolutely loved this pair...

To bad their marriage didn't last either, like many other marriages in the British Royal Family. But that doesn't mean that the couple wasn't photogenic. Therefore, I decided to post pics of their engagement and wedding.

The engagement was announced on May 30, 1973.

Pics from the wedding which took place November 14, 1973

The wedding took place at Westminister Abbey

Princess Anne met Captain Mark Philips through her interest in horses

Princess Anne wore a tudor style wedding dress embroidered with pearls. The wedding gown had a high collar and medieval sleeves.

Princess Anne's pure silk gauze train was carried by Prince Edward and Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones.

Pdas101 and everyone else, thanks <so> much for posting these lovely pics of one of my all-time favorite royal brides!!

Imo, she looked radiant, and I liked her dress too, very fairy tale like in a seventies kind of way! I have to say, Phillips wasn't bad looking either actually.

Question for our very own Windsor expert Sara Boyce, do you happen to sort of know/have heard why Anne and second hubby are not so fond of each other any more?

Does anyone have pictures or souvenirs they'd like to post?

Any memories?

Someone asked about foreign royals.

There's a picture in post 6. You can see Beatrix (maybe Claus, I can't tell); Harold and Sonja; and Juan Carlos and Sofia.

In post 6 there's a picture of Grace, in the infamous "winter white", and Rainier.

I wasn't sure who all of the people in the group photo are, so that's probably an underestimate of foreign royals.

I was cruising around on ebay the other day and saw a vintage wedding dress very similar to Anne's with the angel sleeves (they were comparing it to a Princess Leia dress -- a few years off).

Anne is still beautiful and has a lovely figure. She just doesn't bother with the makeup and the clothes most of the time (who does?). I think Anne just has other priorities.

Who does? well Mary for one (that's an easy one), Zara her own daughter (with a lot a pizzaz), and most of the other women.
