Anne's Surprising Past Revealed

THE QUIET ROYAL'S RELATIONSHIPS ARE UNCOVERED ON THE SMALL SCREEN

Over the years, she’s earned a reputation as the most hardworking and upright of the Queen’s children but the upcoming third season of The Crown is set to show an unseen side of Princess Anne. Shining a spotlight on her love-life, the Netflix drama includes a storyline that will show the young princess in the ’70s when she had a passionate relationship with Andrew Parker Bowles. Unsurprisingly, Anne is said to be increasingly fearful that all her closely guarded secrets are set to be revealed.

But in an even more dramatic twist, a palace insider claims the royal and Camilla’s ex-husband briefly renewed their relationship years after their initial affair.

“What many people don’t realize is that Anne and Andrew actually rekindled their affair about nine years ago and had a second secret relationship,” a palace source explains.

“It was after Andrew’s second wife died and after a chance meeting at Ascot, they started meeting up in private again.

“Although nothing more than friends they went away for a weekend away together to a small country cottage, tucked away from prying eyes.”

Anne and Andrew’s second attempt at together coming 30 years after they first embarked on an affair when the princess was just 19 years old.
