But, even if true, that might suit them just fine and they might both be perfectly happy.

I don't think it is the case that they have totally different lives though. There are photos around of Tim with Anne's grandchildren which suggest that they have a perfectly amiable relationship with him. They might all get on like a house on fire in private and Tim and Anne might be great mates and spend lots of time together. Just because they aren't demonstrative in public means nothing. Every marriage is different. And as far as the Royals go, it's all speculation because we don't know what they do in private. Well, most of the time. Charles and Diana were the exception because towards the end it was clear from their demeanour that they couldn't stand to be anywhere near each other, but Tim and Anne don't behave like that.

I agree.
I have the impression that they make some public appearances together, but the rest of the time they go their separate ways.
They act almost like strangers.

With all the new engagement figures that have come out recently, I did a quick search on the BM website and found that Tim has probably accompanied Anne on over 100 engagements last year, including the tour in South Africa. This is on top of the employment he has in the private sector. I think its the way they are reported on that makes it seem like they have separate lives. The are both busy individuals who do some things together and some things apart. Like any most modern couples.

I'm sure if Tim had the luscious locks of The Duchess of Cambridge and wore long flowing evening gowns like she did, he would probably get more press.

It would be enough if his wife bought a new dress from time to time.... LOL.

Of that I have no doubt whatsoever!

Aww. One of her charms if the fact that she doesn't seem to care about such things. And when we do see her in a new outfit we get very excited!

I thought Princess Anne abandoned Tim during the both Christmas services. Maybe she and Tim like some away time. The pictures of them sailing together shows how intimate they are in private.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case with Anne and Tim. Many successful relationships work on the basis that you are busy with your own interests half the time and then spend time together on things you jointly enjoy doing. From personal experience I know for fact that my own relationship would have ended years ago had we not recognised the fact that we enjoy our own company and interests in quiet isolation knowing the other is always there to spend time with.

In regards to the ever present marriage rumours I don'tunderstand where the media get the idea they are always about to divorce becuase they "spend their lives apart". For starters they are known to go sailing together and lets face it, if you spend days or even weeks on a relatively small sailing boat together you can't hate each other that much!
To be perfectly honest I think Anne and Tim probably spend no more time part then Kate and William did when William was serving on Anglesey but obviously as Anne and Tim aren't young and glamourous thly. media report them differenty

He rode in the carriage with Princess Anne during the Order of the Garter. Looking very comfortable. No indication of any tension in the relationship.

Which carriage was this? Anna rode on horseback during the trooping the colour.

Thanks for pointing my error. Made the correction. It was Order of the Garter.

There were a lot of Anne and PB pics, but Tim Laurence was simply cut from these pics
So I glad to find this photo

I noticed that too. I remember seeing a pic with Anne, Andrew PB and just the left side of Tim's arm.

I love what Anne's done with her hair, sort of that half-up-half-down look; everyone can see her pretty face! And if you look closely, you can just make out those stunning blue eyes! That picture must have been taken not long after they got married.

[Queen Camilla]

marine2109,
Thanks for the link to the Hello article. Last pics I saw of Anne's hair down were from the early 1970s.

Seem the hair down is personal and the hair up is business.

Tim has a twinkle in his eye.

#4 is a bit wrong but hey...
