Princess Anne gets new neighbour in Lily Allen's dad 

Actor Keith Allen, the father of Smile singer Lily, has become a neighbour of Princess Anne's after purchasing a farmhouse in the picturesque countryside near her Gloucestershire home, Gatcombe Park.  

The property is set down a single-track close to the ancient market town of Minchinhampton reports the Daily Mail.  

Boasting stone-built outbuildings set in spacious grounds, fruit plots and several sun terraces, the estate has found favour with his pop star daughter.  

The chart-topper will have to get in line, though, if she wants to invite showbiz friends such as actress Jaime Winston and model Kate Moss over for jamming and drinks sessions since her dad has a large family.  

Keith, 55, has six children from four different relationships.
