Princess Anne celebrates 75: A life full of devotion and humor!

On August 15, 2025, Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth II's only daughter, will celebrate her 75th birthday. While others might enjoy the spotlight, Anne is known for staying away from big celebrations. Instead, her focus is on charities that are close to her heart. How Radio Wuppertal reports, she is one of the most popular members of the British royal family and is characterized by her approachable and quick-witted nature.

A life without scandals and a passion for riding characterize Anne's career. She has even represented Great Britain at the Olympics and is known for being one of the hardest working members of the royal family. Even though the headlines are often dominated by other royals, Anne remains a touching figure in the world of monarchy with her deep commitment and as the widow of a humorous father, Prince Philip.

Family and weddings

In recent days, the media has focused particularly on the engagement of her son Peter Phillips and his girlfriend Harriet Sperling. Interestingly, neither Peter nor his sister Zara Tindall have royal titles, which is fueling discussions about the role of the younger generation of royals. There is also speculation about a possible reconciliation between Harry and Prince William at Peter's upcoming wedding - a topic that concerns many fans of the monarchy.

Although Anne pursues her role as mother and grandmother with great devotion, she also thinks about her health. Working with horses not only ignited her passion, but also brought with it some challenges. Last year she was hit by a horse and had to seek medical attention. Despite such setbacks, she remains optimistic and says that every day is a gift and you never know what will happen next.

Auctions and special finds

As Princess Anne celebrates her birthday, there is exciting news from the world of auctions in the US. Numerous auctions take place in Iowa that offer very different treasures. Several auctions ended Aug. 14, including a large inventory reduction auction of a 150-year-old hardware store in Des Moines. This event featured 552 lots and offered a variety of items to make a collector's heart beat faster.

Things will also be exciting on August 15th, with antiques, furniture and household items auctions comprising 778 lots also ending. Mind you: Anyone looking for Pokémon cards or basketball cards can look forward to a special auction with 350 lots that ends today. And while curious buyers wait, the next live auction starts on August 16th for a very special selection of tractors.

The connection between these two worlds – royal celebrations and bargain hunting – shows that there is a lot of movement both in the monarchy and in everyday life. Anne will spend her special day in her own way, while collectors in Iowa hope for her finds and perhaps snag a bargain or two.
