Princess Anne has been promoted by the Army and Royal Air Force to mark her 70th birthday.
It is a tradition that senior royals are treated as military members and receive promotions as they get older.Princess Anne turns 70 on Saturday and her birthday is being marked with the release of three official photographs taken at her home in Gatcombe Park, Gloucestershire. Speaking earlier this week, Anne's son-in-law Mike Tindall said plans to mark the day have been"scaled back" because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"It's a shame. I'm sure we'll do something as a family to celebrate her 70 amazing years, she's just an incredible woman in terms of how much work she can get through in the year.Image copyrightIn one of the new photos, Anne wears a gold ribbon knot brooch set with 12 diamonds
SO WHAT?
RoyalFamily Very soon, once PrinceHarry arrived in UK from 5 years of military deployment in Afghanistan, expect a lot of changes in the britishroyals. There will be demotion and retrenchment of position due to lies / treason made against the newest King Harry, my husband.
Congratulations and many more happy birthdays to come👍🎂🎁🍾🎉📸

jonatha60114785 Where is she these days, not seen her around - asking for a friend 🤔
Stopped laughing at Dictators with innumerable shiny medals and extravagant ranks a long time ago when I realised Britain is a medieval joke that had survived into twentieth century well past its sell-by date, makes those dictatorsn look a lot classier and egalitarian...
Royal family....what a fucking joke
Happy birthday . 🎂🎁🎈🎉🎊🎁🎏
Love her!
Pathetic
'The Princess Royal - the Queen's second child - will take up the role of general and air chief marshal' I'm promoting my goldfish to guard dog duties. It's not a dog and won't be doing any guarding but nonetheless it's a guard dog now.
Which wars has Princess Anne fought in er none, so why does she have a military promotion, what an utter joke that people are still impressed by these people.
'The Princess Royal - the Queen's second child - will take up the role of general and air chief marshal, bringing her ranks in line with her rank in the Royal Navy. It is a tradition that...' Definitely the stupidest tradition I've ever seen.
Could she sell her medal and help pay rise for nurses and carers?
BBCWorld How utterly ridiculous
What a joke 😂 The 'hardest working royal' gets a promotion, great. The 'hardest working royal' who has zero impact whatsoever and generates no interest in the royal family.

The Royals.....
How fucking stupid
Happy birthday and WELL DESERVED
I get it but dont agree with the old outdated rules. The photos of her are lovely
I turn 49 next year can I be a captain?
When was the last time she got MVP?
We can all sleep a little easier in our beds tonight knowing we're in safe hands.
Currently the only member of the royal family with a criminal record. Currently.
I am hoping to be made into a proper modern Major General on my 70th year on planet earth 🤤
More cap doffing and ridiculous awards for doing sod all, except being born in the right bed. This country will never move on while we tolerate these anachronisms.
This sort of bullshit really boils my piss defundtheroyalfamily
Meanwhile ,We have people out in the streets collecting money for 'Help the Heroes '.....!
Happy birth date to Princess Anne. I got the honor and the privilege to have Her signature on my membership certificate, on CIT.
Good for her
Bizarre country I was born in. Promotion for being old, throwing around MBE/OBE/CBE and knighthoods. For god's sake let's move forward - we're stuck in the middle ages. Trouble is the people who have the power to change it are likely to get knighthoods anyway. SuellaBraverman
About sums up the SocialMobility
What is she gonna do with that promotion?
Lovely post ! But any news on Prince Andrew shenanigans with JeffreyEpstein ?
Happy birthday Princess Ann have a lovely day
Did she actually serve or was she a figurehead
She certainly has all the losers triggered, without even trying!
Hasn’t she got enough hats already?
Tax payers will want to know if the promotion comes with a pay rise, or is it entirely ceremonial? Will her brother Andrew risk flying to a country with a US extradition treaty to congratulate her?
Princess Anne and Zara are my two favourite royals. Head and shoulders above most of them, barring the Queen of course.
Why?
Does she recieve the old age pension too?
For what exactly? Britain is more corrupt than North Korea. It’s 2020 for fucks sake not 1420....👊
Don’t u mean a pay rise?
Meaningless twaddle...
Congrats Ma'am. nullisecundus
Who cares?
Ha ha now I know it's all bolloks
Seems reasonable
BBCWorld Whatever!! ,🙄🙄
All she needs now are some peasants from the BBC to act as pretend soldiers, as the army has run out of real ones.
Very Alan Partridge
Where's mine?
How pointless.
Listen, the only news about the royal family I want to hear is the arrest of predator Andrew & any other deviants associated to them. Anything else is bullshit. 💯😡
She appears a capable commander. I think she would be well up the ranks anyway if she had been able to sign up like her brothers.
Why ?
This must be for service in Rhodesia and then later at Rorkes Drift
Happy birthday to you Princess Ann! Also congratulations on your promotion!
Why is this NOT an insult to those in the military that have earned their rank? This family benefits from a rediculous handouts from the public purse to live lives of opulance,they are all wealthy & revered for nothing other than their lineages.This 'promotion' is beyond a joke!
Anne! Happy 700th birthday 🎂👵🏻
Looks suspiciously like they photoshopped that head onto that body!
Was this photograph taken before or after the immolation of Edward Woodward?
Not easy for the biggest recipients of Universal Credit in the country to get there, so well done Anne
I'm sure she suffered hard for that, God bless her and all that, not easy getting promotion
Will the Duke of York get a 15 yr old for his 70th
She is the Colonel in Chief, of the Royal Signals. Pretty much held in admiration and affection, by all that met her. I know of one visit, where she stayed in 'the Other Ranks' tent. SNCO's above, generally a bit career driven and possibly dull as dish water.
No one cares. The state of our schools, our NHS, our care homes, people being forced to food banks, horrific covid rates, climate change - those actually affect people. Stop distracting with this rubbish.
Bet she's thrilled....eek 😖
Nonsense
Oh do sod off. endthemonarchy guilotine
BBCWorld
CONGRATULATIONS YOUR HIGHNESS
I am no royalist but she seems to work hard and to be sound. The act of the support to the Scottish rugby 🏉 union alone has been exemplary in my view. Wish her well
BBCWorld Its always a promotion.. lovely, Anna
Absolutely deserved. Congratulations Princess Royal 👑
GavinWilliamson says people don't get promoted unless they are qualified or fucked the right cousin
BBCWorld Seems fair as students grades are down graded.
She deserves it purely for appearing in “its a knockout “ 😱😱
Good! She’s one of the Royals that have always done her job in that regard. It’s an promotion that has no military bearing sort from ceremonial but why not? She’s done great things as Princess Royal. 👍
BBCWorld Well done and well deserved PrincessAnne
For what? UK have lost thousands to war. When has she ever been close to combat or even military work?
The royals do fuk all productive and they have been paid so generously for decades. No fucks given
BBCWorld Gosh she looks old enough to be mistaken for the Queen's sister than her daughter.
Promotion? for what? to what? What for?
They are incredibly talented the Royal Family. Look at how well they do in the military, the ranks they achieve. Edward was badly treated by the Marines. They knew he'd become the top commando in no time. Jealousy.
Political correctness only lives on the strength of the dollar. The crowds cheering on Roy Larner being decorated with the George Cross will be standing on mounds of dollar confetti.
Another joke perhaps she can take over from Andrew
Will she be leading our next invasion of a benighted country?
😂😂😂😂
Sorry should have said brothers.All dumbos and somehow feel entitled to live in luxury and patronise us plebs.
Parasites
BBCWorld Wow! Seems useful at her age🎉🤩
BBCWorld Passing strange that the Royals refuse to decorate the chest of a real hero, like Roy Larner. Yet they parade around with unearned medals like children. How much more contempt will working people endure? Will the real UK please stand up.
What a woman! Nearly as thick as her brother,but I bet she would have come out with A grades this week.
Shit
Deserved Honor 👏👏👏
BBCWorld Boot-licking serfs
annaliesalin I forgot her! She appears media-shy nowadays. The Princess delivered a Royal message at Jamaica's Independence celebrations decades ago.
anned?
BBCWorld I like her a great deal, but honestly, what a farce. Fortunately, once the government's algorithm is applied she will actually end up as a Mid-Shipman in the Royal Navy and a fitter in the RAF
Truly deserving. Wishing a very happy birthday to HRH the Princess Royal.
Whataloadacrap
We need to be less obsessed with the military whilst remembering we need it.
She’s done some fighting lately?
BBCWorld LOL LOL THE UGLY BASTXXD
Defund the royal family
BBCWorld Congratulations madam!
I’m sure the military are on the lookout for 70 year old retired horse riders to promote to their highest ranks
What a tinpot country this is.
Sorry but this keeps coming to mind 🤭
BBCWorld Crawlers.
Congratulations Princess Anne and Happy 70th birthday!
Anyone not angered by this really needs to have a word with themselves.
Good grief.
BBCWorld She needs something, but I didn't expect that, especially when you look like horse 😂
BBCWorld Very serious happenings here You need to see this
In essence, she’s being rewarded for ageing. Mental!
BBCWorld
Nice lady but ridiculous sham military awards here. Do the Royals not feel like frauds when they dress up like tin soldiers with all these gratuitous medals and ribbons attached?
Looking forward to seeing her on the front line
That's Admiral Anne to you, bub
Time for a republic
BBCWorld Just such privileged, elitist bullshit! The world’s dealing with a pandemic; millions are out of work ... and the Princess is getting new ‘titles’. Please get real. The Royals do not matter today.
Lol
Princess Anne on the battlefield, now that i'd like to see, along with BBC staffers
BBCWorld I feel safe now knowing that she is protecting us
Why
These are HONORARY POSITIONS. It doesn’t actually mean she’s a working General or Air Marshall. It is an honorary appointment on behalf of the Queen.
You know who needs a promotion? That guy whose feet are actually on the war zone. Or maybe the gal who is on patrol in Iraq. Or maybe the guy who is operating on his wounded colleagues in Afghanistan. Or perhaps that gal who is on the sniper's crosshair in Syria.
Why dose she need a military rank? Has she or will she ever serve in the military? Just another middle finger up to anyone that has earned there rank and fought overseas. Absolute stolen Valor.
Ah, British meritocracy. 😒
Utterly laughable. A 70 year old becomes a General and Air Chief Marshal as a birthday present. Is this a joke? She should be out demonstrating about A levels, climate change, Brexit etc. The Windsors really know how to enjoy privilege.
Upgraded to Major Slag
BBCWorld I always felt that she should be the next Queen.
BBCWorld For fucks sake!
BBCWorld Hereditary power has no place in s modern democracy.
The only 'hereditary' things on this Earth, are the brain and the 'balls'.
Hey Fun Fact: Cerberus was the tri-headed dog that guarded the underworld in Greek mythology.
toricambridge In 2019 Anne had more than 500 engagements- more than any other royal. She’s a very hard worker and a woman who takes duty seriously, happy 70th Princess Anne!🎈🎉
A promotion for being 70? 🤡🌍
FFS Priti's new Clandestine Channel Threat Commander didn't last long. Will Anne do any better? 😉
Well deserved, she did a brilliant job leading troops in Helmand Valley and securing a successful outcome for military operations in Afghanistan.
BBCWorld What is she gonna do lmaoo
Married to a Navy Vice-Admiral, supported the military since 18, legit drove a tank & fired machine guns as a teenager and the military consistently praise her. Baddest bish of royal family
She’s very hard working and a strong woman, happy birthday Anne!❤️
Fantastic Hardest working Royal. Happy 70th Ma'am
Many happy returns pretendy Pugwash. Your finest campaign was it's a royal knockout with thespian Ed and paedo Stuart Hall. Not forgetting Fergie who was dumped for the Epstein gals
Military promotion ? Is this a joke?
Whilst Harry lost his?
Wtf ... good job is all over the real news 🤮
Ludicrous.
Must be due to her brave selfless heroism fighting behind enemy lines
🤣🤣🤣
One of the hardest working Royals so she deserves it .
Why? Has she suddenly become a military genius?
Wasn't it GavinWilliamson that was going on about people being promoted above their ability level..? She ain't no General Organa that's for sure.
Is she going to sort out that barnet the fucking stuck up old slag?
Remember Anne serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Falklands? Me neither, she’s a benefits cheat for 70 years that’s all.
Haunter-In-Chief
Who actually gives a flying fuck
To Battleaxe first class
EmmanuelLauren2 What a joke your country😂😂😂 Get out Scotland asap
How many people has she even killed? How has she earned this promotion?
The hardest working royal well done princess Anne
Brexit,Recession,Immigrants.Who cares, but Anne was promoted because she fought in imaginary battles.
hope there's not a war!
SAS are going to drop her into active situations to blind the enemy with her translucent skin
I wish she’d do something new with her hair. Been like that for years.
Why
That head looks photoshopped 🤔
Seems useful at her age
Well that has made all the prospects of no work, dire future for kids and the multiple deaths at the hands of such an inept government go away . . . . . . NOT, great the elite keep giving themselves more
Is she now a general horseman?
🤐
Priti Patel will probably go on to ask her if she can organise a military force along the South Eastern coast.
Did she serve?
