Back in mid-August, the Royal Family celebrated Anne's birthday with a special documentary and a series of three other birthday portraits (two of which are seen below).
Princess Anne spent her birthday in Scotland with husband Sir Tim Laurence. Since then, she's reportedly paid a visit to her parents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, while they were staying at Balmoral Castle. On Sept. 18, she additionally stepped out to meet with the 30th Signal Regiment, on what was the 71st anniversary of the Queen's Gurkha Signals.
