Makes complete sense. Sophie often drives herself as well.

Stalker's threat to stab the Princess Royal at her home
James Ballinger entered the grounds of Gatcombe Park and was detained by protection officers

A man who repeatedly threatened to stab the Princess Royal was found by royal protection officers entering the grounds of her home, a court heard.

James Ballinger, 35, made a series of 999 calls to police on Feb 27 stating he was going to Gatcombe Park in the Cotswolds to stab the Princess and "anybody else who was there", Cheltenham magistrates were told.

He told the call handler that the Princess was "controlling his mind by moving his satellites", said Cathy Thornton, prosecuting. Later that day, at 3.15pm, he was found at Gatcombe Park and detained by Royal Household protection officers, she said. He was unarmed.

Ballinger told officers he had mental health issues and he hoped his arrest would get him the help he needed.

(...)

Andrew Hill, chairman of the magistrates, sentenced Ballinger to a 12-month community order which includes attending a programme to address his alcohol and mental health problems as well as a six-day rehabilitation activity.

A six-month exclusion order banning Ballinger from entering Gatcombe Park was also imposed.

A spokesman for Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

In 1974, the Princess was the victim of a kidnap attempt in which Ian Ball forced her car to stop in the Mall, in London, before attempting to attack her.
 
Today marks 20 years since a deadly
arson attack on a back packers hostel

young working holiday young people died.
There is a current debate as to whether
the person convicted should get released
on parole.

aftermath.

I don't know if this topic has already been mentioned here, but, in connection with her 70th birthday, the Princess Royal has been promoted to the honorary ranks of a general in the British Army and an air chief marshal in the RAF.

New photographs have been released to celebrate the 70th birthday of Princess Anne on 15th August

The photographs were taken by John Swannell at The Princess’ home, Gatcombe Park, in February this year.

Remind me a bit of the photos of Victoria for her birthday, especially the white gown one. I don't know why.

They are all lovely but I really like the casual one. That really is Anne IMO.
 
Charles and Camilla wished Anne a Happy Birthday, and included some truly wonderful photos in tribute...I love them all, but my favorites are the one where they are riding together and the one where they’re enjoying a hearty laugh together. I love their relationship ...oh, and they were adorable as kids!

Fabulous, very much P.Anne (and i agree with a previous poster, the casual one is very good!)
 
Beautiful photos of Anne but I think my favourite is the casual one where she's wearing her regular outdoor clothes - captures her personality the most! She looks so much like HM.
 
I like them all because each illustrates a different aspect of her nature.

She is the classic chameleon, equally at home and acconplished in a terrific long gala gown as she is on the back oeef a horse or strolling around the countryside looking totally at one with her environment.

If you believe the rubbish written about her in tabloids and DM et. al. You would think she had no grace or style, no conversation unless it was about horses and walks alone because she is the female version of her equally maligned father.

Wonderful Collection to mark The Princess Royal's 70th Birthday!

Great group of pictures!
 
How wonderful - really stressing their relationship as the older sibling pair among the queen's children.

Nonetheless, there seems to be quite a big jump from 'still (relatively) young' to 'Charles has adult sons'. I am correct in thinking that the 80's and 90's are missing?

Yes I think you're correct. Maybe the best photos of them together are outside of those decades. I love the ones of them laughing together.
