Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence

On March 1, 1955, Timothy James Hamilton Laurence was born in Camberwell, England. Following his education, he entered the Navy and served on many notable ships. Laurence gained his first royal staff position in 1986 when he was made an equerry to the late Queen and held this role until September 1989. News of a relationship between Sir Timothy and Princess Anne came to light after the theft of a series of personal letters. On December 12, 1992, the couple married at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral Castle in a service attended by roughly 30 guests. The pair are incredibly popular and frequently carry out royal engagements together.
