Delayed Schedule: Princess Anne's Dublin Events Unveiled After a Week
Princess Anne Celebrates 75th Birthday and Visits Dublin
In a significant milestone, Princess Anne, the Queen's only daughter, is set to celebrate her 75th birthday on August 15. While detailed plans for her birthday celebrations are yet to be announced, the focus has been on a notable moment in her royal life – a new portrait unveiled for her birthday.
The portrait, revealed on August 8, 2025, marks a significant change in her style. In the portrait, Princess Anne debuted an elegant chignon updo, a departure from her longstanding bouffant hairstyle. This new look was first seen during the state banquet at Windsor Castle in honour of French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to London.
Away from the royal portrait, Princess Anne recently visited Dublin, marking a moment to acknowledge the strength and value of the relationship between the two countries. The visit took place during President Higgins' second and final term.
Upon her arrival, Princess Anne was formally welcomed at Áras an Uachtaráin by President Michael D. Higgins. During her visit, she attended the official opening day of the 150th Dublin Horse Show at the Royal Dublin Society. The Princess Royal also toured a special exhibition on the history of the Dublin Horse Show.
In addition, she met with representatives from Festina Lenté, a Bray-based charity offering equine-assisted learning and therapy services, and the Riding for the Disabled Association Ireland. These meetings served as a moment to acknowledge President Higgins' long-standing contribution to Irish public life.
The royal family's official website, royal.uk, released details and pictures of her visit, with social media teams sharing timely updates. A highlight of her visit was her presentation of rosettes to the winners in Class 20 of the Small Hunters competition.
As we approach Princess Anne's 75th birthday, the royal family is preparing to celebrate this significant milestone. The focus on her new portrait and refined style change has certainly made for a memorable birthday recognition, although details about public celebrations or additional events remain to be seen.
As a tribute to Princess Anne's 75th birthday, one might also indulge in a bit of entertainment, revisiting historical moments in her life through documentaries or biographies featuring her journey and interactions with various celebrities. In the spirit of such entertainment, future generations could learn about the impact and influence of Princess Anne, not just as a royal figure, but also as a symbol of the strong bond between the United Kingdom and Ireland.
