Princess Royal
Eldest royal daughter
Princess Royal is a title bestowed by British monarchs on their eldest daughter.
Unlike most royal titles, it is not automatic at birth but granted at the sovereign's discretion, and only one princess holds it at a time—typically for life.
The current Princess Royal is Princess Anne, daughter of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Princess Royal attended the ceremony in Edinburgh.
