Princess Anne’s family tree explained
The hard-working royal is wed to ex-Royal Navy officer Sir Timothy Laurence. They got married in 1992. However, before this, Anne was married to Captain Mark Phillips, a gold-medal-winning Olympic equestrian. The couple share two children – Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall.
The pair separated in 1989, but Anne had no intentions to divorce Mark. Although, this all changed in 1991. At this time it was revealed that Mark has fathered a child with an art teacher from New Zealand.
Mark briefly met Heather Tonkin in 1984 and, in 1985, their daughter, Felicity, was born. According to the Scottish Daily Express, when it was revealed that Mark had fathered a child with someone other than Princess Anne it caused one of the biggest royal scandals ever.
