Princess Anne is celebrating her 75th birthday today<\/a>, choosing to mark the big day privately<\/a>. As The Princess Royal, Anne has a very busy life and will no doubt be enjoying time away from the royal spotlight with her nearest and dearest.<\/p>\n

While it is not known if she will see her older brother King Charles, 76, today, with the monarch busy marking the anniversary of VJ Day<\/a>, it is well-known that the pair have a close bond.<\/a> As well as being just years apart in age, Charles and Anne are believed to have much in common, including their dedication to a life of public service.<\/p>\n

It is also believed that Anne is a close confidant to the King, with one expert exclusively telling Express.co.uk<\/a> that Charles has \u201ccomplete confidence\u201d in his sister.<\/p>\n

Expert Richard Fitzwilliams said: \u201cPrincess Anne celebrates her 75th birthday today. She has said she regards each day as a ‘bonus’ after her accident last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bonus is shared as in her, King Charles has a dedicated senior working member of the Royal Family who is universally respected.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows she is the hardest working, dislikes fuss and pomposity and, on occasion, speaks her mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fitzwilliams continued: \u201cThe King has come late to the role for which he was always destined for and is so unfortunate to be battling cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen, after his accession and during an extremely difficult period for the Royal Family he made Anne a Counsellor of State, it was an excellent decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is extraordinary that she was not one already and this underlined the complete confidence he has in her.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Anne is celebrating her 75th birthday today, choosing to mark the big day privately.
