In 1976, Princess Anne became the first royal to participate in the Olympic Games – and the whole royal family was there to watch.
In 1976, Princess Anne went to the Olympic Games in Montreal. Not as a spectator, as with many members of the monarchy before, but as an actual Olympian: she qualified, and competed, in the equestrian three-day event on behalf of Great Britain. She was the first British royal ever to participate in the international sporting competition.
The Queen and her son are watching Princess Anne compete in the cross country 3-Day event of the 1976 Summer Olympics.
