Princess Anne has a close relationship with her sister-in-law, the Queen Consort. And although Queen Camilla has only been married to King Charles since 2005, it is well known that the two families have been moving in the same circles for a number of years.
Camilla, 75, was previously married to Andrew Parker Bowles from 1973 until 1995, and together they share two children, Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes. But did you know that prior to that marriage, Andrew was romantically linked to Princess Anne? The pair had much in common – not least their shared love of horses.

Did Andrew Parker Bowles have a relationship with Princess Anne?
Yes, Princess Anne and Andrew Parker Bowles were together in the past. It's thought that the pair dated for some time, beginning in June 1970. However, according to reports, the relationship could not become that serious because Andrew was a catholic, making any potential marriage highly unlikely.
