Buckingham Palace retracts Princess Anne's birthday tribute after slip-up

Buckingham Palace withdrew a tribute after mistakenly listing two stepchildren from Princess Anne's second marriage, clarifying she has only two children from her first marriage.

  • On Wednesday, Buckingham Palace published about 75 facts about Princess Anne, The Princess Royal, but quickly removed it over a significant family error.
  • The fourteenth fact claimed Princess Anne had two stepchildren from her marriage to Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, and named them Tom and Amy Laurence.
  • Many noted that Sir Tim Laurence had never been married before wedding Princess Anne in December 1992 and has no record of previous children.
  • Consequently, Buckingham Palace deleted the tribute post from its website and the tweet on X, but it remains visible on Google.
  • According to the Sunday Times' royal correspondent, Anne plans to wind down duties at 80 and step back completely at 90, with praise from charity leaders and the Royal Family.
