Royal and noble titles and styles

 * 15 August 1950 – 6 February 1952: Her Royal Highness Princess Anne of Edinburgh
 * 6 February 1952 – 15 November 1973: Her Royal Highness The Princess Anne
 * 15 November 1973 – 13 June 1987: Her Royal Highness The Princess Anne, Mrs Mark Phillips
 * 13 June 1987 – present: Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal

From birth, thanks to letters patent issued by her grandfather George VI on 22 October 1948, Anne was a British princess with the style of Royal Highness and the territorial designation "of Edinburgh". Upon her mother's accession to the throne in 1952, the territorial designation was dropped and she became styled as "The Princess Anne". After she married Captain Mark Phillips in 1973, she was styled as "The Princess Anne, Mrs Mark Phillips" until her mother created her Princess Royal, an appellation given only to the eldest daughter of the sovereign, on 13 June 1987. Anne is the seventh Princess Royal since the title was first granted to Mary, daughter of Charles I. The previous holder was Anne's great-aunt Mary, daughter of George V. Although she holds the style of Princess Royal, as the wife of Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, she is entitled to use the style of Lady Laurence, because the wife of a knight may prefix Lady to the knight's surname.
