Princess Anne lives in Gatcombe Park, which is an estate out in the Gloucestershire countryside. This residence is purely a private home, but the grounds are occasionally opened up for horse trials as Princess Anne, and her daughter Zara Tindall are both highly skilled equestrians. Royal fans were delighted when the Royal Family posted a picture of the Princess Royal and her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, on their official Instagram page earlier this year in February.
The royal couple were photographed watching the Rugby Calcutta Cup, sitting next to each other relaxed on their sofa in front of their modest looking television.
They were surrounded by a fair bit of clutter on their coffee table: vases, books, papers, and porcelain figures.
In their corner was a dog bed, as Princess Anne is a well-known breeder of Pitbull Terrier dogs.
On the walls there were several landscape paintings, in what seemed like a cosy, modest sized living room.

In the photo, the 71-year-old Princess Royal was dressed casually in a maroon sweater and black fleece vest.
She sat cross-legged on a floral-printed, melon-coloured sofa next to her plaid-clad husband Timothy.
The Princess is the royal patron of the Scottish Rugby Team, explaining why they were watching the match.
In the room there were two cabinets filled with little ornaments and framed photos.
DON’T MISS:
Every surface in the room was stacked with books and other general clutter.
It looked like the average living room you would expect your grandparents to relax in and enjoy themselves.
The cream-coloured walls were filled with a series of framed paintings, all of them appearing to be of various seaside towns.
Royal fans were conflicted on the interior of Princess Anne’s cosy living room.
However, another posted: “Won’t like to be the cleaner there, all that clutter!
“Dusting all those ornaments….but we are all different.”
Another was similarly cynical when commenting, mocking the Princess Royal and her husband saying: “Look at us, we are normal people who watch tv!”
The homely royal residence is located in Gatcombe Park, the Gloucestershire estate the Queen purchased for her daughter in 1976. It has been Princess Anne’s main residence ever since.
The estate’s grounds are host to the annual Festival of British Eventing, as well as to other equestrian events.
Zara Tindall also maintains a home on the property with her husband, Mike Tindall.
