When we think of royalty, we think of opulence.
Take Queen Elizabeth II, for example.
The late monarch’s net worth was estimated to fall somewhere around $500 million when she died.
That doesn’t account for The Firm’s collective wealth, which reportedly lands around $28 billion.
For Princess Anne, the queen’s only daughter, her life definitely airs on the cushier side.
These are the ways in which Princess Anne’s life has been incredibly lavish.
Anne not only has one gorgeous engagement ring, but two.
And both feature center stones that are to die for.
Anne conducted a rather rare sit-down interview withVanity Fairto mark her 70th birthday.
“I was ready to go to school,” she said.
The British royal family has a number of estates to call home.
In 2021, Hello!
“She chose to shop with us which is really lovely,” Martin said.
“We’re local to her, about 15 minutes or so away.
We love a lady who knows how to shop and the fact she supports local businesses is even better.
Let’s start with the tiara from Cartier.
It was a favorite of the princess as a teenager.
It was gifted to Elizabeth for her wedding and passed down to Anne in the 1960s.
The headpiece has remained a staple in Anne’s collection; the tiara certainly stands the test of time.
Anne reportedly requires her staff members to serve her a specific kind of breakfast.
We’ll let former royal chef Darren McGrady answer that.
“She almost always preferred the bananas almost black overripe because they digested easier,” McGrady dished toToday.
We don’t make the rules.
Months before the wedding, Anne wore not one but two dresses for her engagement shoot alone.
We wouldn’t want her engagement shoot to be too scandalous.
Designed by Maureen Baker, Anne’s wedding dress featured a high neckline and gorgeous sleeve detailing.
Of course, she wore a diamond tiara as well.
While the marriage didn’t last, the impact of the day certainly did.
Princess Anne competed in equestrian events at a young age
Does anything say lavish more than equestrianism?
If that wasn’t enough, Anne was named the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year.
But, despite the presence of royal chefs, Annedoesn’tindulge in one seemingly lavish practice: lunch.
“I think during the day, eating’s not really an issue,” she said.
If only we had the same perspective.
In 2021 alone, Anne attended 387 engagements, whereas Charles attended 385.
As noted by theDaily Mail, Anne’s office has a variety of decorative items that scream lavish.
That time, however, she was driving an expensive Bentley and didn’t pull over right away.
Yet Anne doesn’t always drive herself, considering that she sometimes has a chauffeur.
Luckily, she was unharmed.
As a royal, Anne also sometimes rides in a horse and carriage at certain events.
That doesn’t mean she’s above taking the Tube either though.
In 2023, for instance, she worked 457 events.
Anne has also hosted some impressive royal functions.
The royal is said to have an expensive and ornate jewelry collection that goes beyond the aforementioned tiaras.
In fact, as of 2022, Anne reportedly has $7 million worth of jewelry.
However, reckon it’s Princess Anne has her own favorite piece of jewelry.
Of course, Anne is known for her love of horses especially, ever since she was young.
“Horses were always there,” she told Horse and Hound in 2019.
“I started on ponies before I had a conscious memory.
I’ve had more experience with horses than anything else.”
Like many members of the royal family, Anne also has dogs.
She’s never cared for celebrity.
And I believe that’s what people admire the most about her.”
Photos published byHello!revealed that Anne’s country home includes a hidden underground level.
In the past, Anne has been very open with the public about how she lives.
Not evenPrincess Anne’s numerous horse riding accidentshave been able to keep her away from the sport.
As reported byHello!, Lashwill asked the princess, “How many ponies do you have?”
She immediately replied, “More than I should have.
One I do ride.”
Of course, it’s important to note that Anne has a history of loaning out her stable space.
While deeply generous, this gesture also shows just how much Anne has to offer.
Instead, they have been known to wear extravagant hats to formal events before six pm.
In practice, this means thatmany royal women boast spectacular hat collections, and Princess Anne is no exception.
Over the years, the princess royal has been spotted in many pieces of gorgeous headwear.
Some of these have, naturally, been quite expensive.
This was especially true in December 2024 when Anne attended the royal family’s annual Christmas gathering at Sandringham.
What stood out the most, however, was Anne’s black fur hat.
AsHello!noted at the time, the piece was likely designed by the famous Lock & Co. Hatters.
The accessory would have reportedly set Anne back 375 or approximately $475.
And, whenever she wears one twice, it’s so shocking that it makes the news.
For Princess Anne, this means hiring a large staff to take care of her every need.
In addition to these important staffers, Anne keeps several ladies-in-waiting.
One such special helper is Dolly Maude a longtime supporter ofZara Tindall and Mike Tindall’s relationship.
According to an insider, Maude was partially selected because of her interest in posh activities.
As the aforementioned source toldThe Telegraph, “She’s such a great girl.
Luckily, Maude is said to be “loyal and discreet” as Anne expects.
However, in recent years, we have seen more and more royals dip into each other’s wardrobes.
Never to be one to miss out on the fun, Princess Anne has also embraced this trend.
Instead, she has re-purposed the belongings oftheroyal Queen Elizabeth II.
Dressed in Elizabeth’s deep purple coat with a gorgeous checkered pattern, Anne exuded pure royal confidence.
By wearing Elizabeth’s attire, Anne paid an endearing homage to her mother keeping her memory alive.
