On Instagram, fans of Princess Anne shared their appreciation for her.
"Love our Princess Anne," one commenter wrote.
"Happy Birthday to a marvelous woman. My favorite memory of the Princess Royal when she and the Queen was visiting a home next door in Edinburgh," another recalled while sharing her own run-in with the royal family. "I was sitting on the stoop and recognized her profile and then watched the vehicle stop just ahead of me. I had never seen a woman literally glide out of the car like she was floating. So graceful. I've tried to emulate that move but fail every time."

Not only is Princess Anne loved by Brits, but many Americans also celebrate her legacy.
"As an American looking from the outside in, Princess Anne seems to be devoted to her duties all her life," one person wrote. "She seems genuinely interested in the charities and people she speaks with. Pity should couldn't be Queen, instead of her brother as King."
