What are you favorite pictures of Anne dancing?

Also, do you know if there are any pictures out there of Anne dancing with Phillip or her brothers?

We don’t have any of her dancing with Philip and this upsets me. We do have this clip from the end of the Elizabeth R doc of them dancing as the Ghillies Ball though

I wish we had more photos of her dancing, since Zara has said before that she loves a good dance and that she’s good on her feet lol. But these are the faves:

And then literally ALL THE ONES OF HER AND TIM WHEN THEY WERE PHOTOGRAPHED AS A COUPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE FEELS

"The Queen always loved the ball, she was always energetic and smiling and having a good time, and she'd do most of the dances. I've also danced with Princess Anne, who's very friendly and chatty ‑ just like her children, Peter and Zara."

I know before she married the press always reported on her going to discos with boyfriends, but after she married, did her and Mark go out dancing together? They got married so young, she hardly just stopped and settled?

I’m sure they did. I’ve read a couple of throwaway archive articles about how when they were living in the grounds of Sandhurst, they would socialise with other couples they were friendly with there. I can’t find em rn but I’ve also seen tweets from people saying they’d seen them on nights out in X club/bar in London. We just didn’t hear about it!

“There was also one night in 1971 when I was named the British Sportsman of the Year – Princess Anne collected the women’s award – and the pair of us had to dance together at the dinner. Anyhow, I’d gone to lessons for three months – my dad was a terrific dancer – and I thought I would be a natural, but I wasn’t. In fact, I was more nervous than I had ever been before walking on to the floor.

But, like a fool, I found myself telling the princess: ‘Don’t worry, hen, dancing is in my blood.’ Well, after a couple of minutes shuffling around with not a shred of co-ordination, she spoke through clenched teeth: ‘You must have a circulation problem then because it hasn’t reached your feet.’ That was me stymied.”

“When the Waleses moved into Highgrove, Anne threw a party for them at her home at nearby Gatcombe so that they could meet ‘the locals’. The Duke of Beaufort was among the fifty or so guests. So, inevitably, were Andrew and Camilla Parker Bowles. It was a black tie affair, but the dinner was a help-yourself buffet with dancing afterwards, and Anne did the cancan in the hall.”
