Princess Anne's 75th birthday portrait: New hair, classic Festoon Tiara, and Sir Tim by her side

Time of India9 hours ago
for Buckingham Palace
Princess Anne is marking her 75th with a fresh look and a familiar sparkle. A new portrait released ahead of her birthday shows the Princess Royal standing with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
The image was taken before the French state banquet at Windsor Castle in July.
The first thing people will notice is her hair. Anne has worn a similar bouffant style for about five decades. In this portrait she switches to a smooth chignon. It is elegant, neat, and suits the formal setting. The change is rare for her, which is why the photo drew quick attention.
The second talking point is the tiara. Anne chose the Festoon Tiara, a long-time favorite in her rotation.
She received it as a gift in 1973 after christening a ship for the Worldwide Shipping Group. The design sits low and balanced, which works well with the new hair. Together they create a cleaner frame around her face.

The portrait also doubles as a quiet nod to partnership. Sir Tim stands with her, as he often does at major state events. The two married in 1992 and keep a low profile. Their presence together in the birthday image sets a warm tone as family plans take shape for the coming weeks.

There is context behind the timing. The palace shared the photo one week before her August 15 birthday to start the celebrations. It was shot by royal photographer Chris Jackson. He captured it at Windsor before the banquet held for the French state visit from July 8 to 10. The result is formal but relaxed, a look that fits Anne's usual style.
Fashion notes aside, the image also lands after a busy and challenging year. Anne remains one of the most active working royals by engagement count.
Last year she briefly stepped back after a horse-related incident near her home. She returned to duties and later said the experience was a reminder that each day is a bonus. The new portrait, bright and composed, underlines that message without a single word.
Reactions so far focus on two themes. Many like seeing a small style reset that still feels like Anne. Others appreciate the continuity of the Festoon Tiara, a piece linked to her early twenties and worn across decades.
It is a simple mix of new and old. That balance is what people expect from her.
As the birthday week begins, more pictures and appearances are likely. For now, one frame does the job. New hair. A classic tiara. Her husband at her side. It is a quiet portrait that still says a lot about how Anne works, dresses, and shows up for the role she has held for most of her life.

Mouni Roy opens up about being typecast; says 'When I did Kyunki, people said the girl next door can't play a glam part'

From television's favourite bahu to a Bollywood star, Mouni Roy has carved a space for herself in the entertainment industry through versatility. Beginning her career with Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Mouni quickly became a household name. Over the years, she has been part of some of the biggest TV hits, including Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev where she played Sati, and the hugely popular Naagin franchise. Transitioning to films, she proved her talent with roles in Gold, Made in China, and even a big-budget spectacle like Brahmāstra. But her journey has been far from easy. In a recent interview with News18, the actress spoke about she has always been typecast in the industry. Mouni admits she has been typecast from the very start. 'I have been typecast since the beginning of my career. When I did Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, people said the girl next door can't play a glam part. When I did a few reality shows, dance reality shows, they said I was too glamorous. When I did Sati, they said I was too Indian. When I did Naagin, it was 'she can only do fantasy fiction or mythological shows.' That's something I've always dealt with, and it doesn't really bother me. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 10 Best Mattresses by Consumer Reports (Here's What You May Not Want to Miss) QuestionHero Learn More Undo It doesn't matter whether you call me glamorous, stylish, or anything else – like saying she's good for a certain kind of role. When I did Brahmāstra or Bhootnii, they said she's good for these… not larger-than-life, but more outlandish roles. She can play these parts well. As long as – whether it's glam, outlandish, girl next door, or dancing – if you can see that I'm putting in my hard work and 100%, and it resonates with the audience – that's my take away from it.' This ability to embrace every label and still push her boundaries has kept Mouni's career evolving. When asked what kind of roles she wants to explore next, she revealed, 'I'm hungry – a greedy actor, in the right sense – because I want to be part of great scripts, good storytelling and work with different, like-minded people. I also want to take on roles I haven't done before; that's very important to me.' Beyond acting, Mouni's artistic side shines through in her dance performances and music videos, which have enjoyed wide popularity. With a filmography that spans across television, films, OTT, and music, she continues to reinvent herself – proving that no stereotype can limit true talent.
