Princess Anne's Second Marriage Was Much CRUELER Than You Thought

Princess Anne's second marriage to Royal Navy officer Timothy Laurence followed the public collapse of her first marriage to Mark Phillips, sparked by stolen letters leaked to the press in 1989. The headlines called it cruel — the truth was something else entirely. This documentary traces Anne's path from her 1973 wedding to Mark Phillips and the 1974 kidnap attempt on The Mall, through the 1991 paternity scandal that ended their marriage, to her quiet 1992 wedding to Timothy Laurence at Crathie Kirk. You'll learn how a leaked letter scandal was misread by the press, why Anne chose privacy over spectacle, and how her second marriage became one of the most stable in the Royal Family.
