In becoming a mom of two with her first husband, Mark Phillips, Anne gave the queen and Philip the first two of their eight grandchildren, Peter Phillips and Zara Phillips Tindall.
Anne chose not to give her two children royal titles when they were born, an option she would have been given by the queen had she wished to do so.

She told Vanity Fair in an interview two years ago to mark her 70th birthday that she thought it was \"easier\" for her children to go through life without HRH titles.
\"I think it was probably easier for them, and I think most people would argue that there are downsides to having titles,\" Anne said. \"So I think that was probably the right thing to do.\"
