:This article is about the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II. For the daughter of King George II, see Princess Anne, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange.

Divorce and remarriage

In August, 1989, the Princess Royal and Mark Philips announced their intention to separate. The marriage had been under strain for many years. The couple divorced in April, 1992. On December 12, 1992, Anne remarried, the first royal divorcee since Henry VIII of England to do so. She chose to remarry in the Church of Scotland since the Church of England forbade divorcees from remarrying in their churches, a stance that is now softening.
