Tom boy Princs Wis Heurts Princess Aiinn, Queen Eliîza- betl's daughter, celebrateti ber twelftii anniversary, Aug. 15, *t Balmoral, the Scottishl country homne et the royal family on, Dee- silde. August is the mionth when by tradition since Queen Victorias& time, the royal fanJiy escapes teý the, freedom of a Highlandi holi- day. Prince Charles is home trem Gordonstoun School whiere fer a terra now lielias been a boarder, the first British heir te the- threne te be educated at a public school. JPrintcess Anne still ha essena in the schoolroom etf Buc.kL-in Palace witb two friends but therei is mucli speculation about lier future education. At Balmoral, the restrictions whicli necessariiy lietge in memn- bers of the royal, family at Lon- don and Windsor are lifteti. Th-a people in the sm-all village andi in nearby Ballater pride themn- Selves on net "meking a fuss"l about the royal farnily. As one of the tradesmnen toli me: "We just regard them as residents Arounti here. This means thet the royal chiltiren cani go shopping in the village like other chldren. Since whe was quite smaîl, Princess Anne lias eccernpenied ber broth- er to buy "sweets" in thse village uhop each sumnmer and te talk te the viliagers, rneking nxew frientis and renewing acqueintance with olti ones. Restrictions imposed in Londion are relaxeti, and Prin- cess Anne reveis in the freedorn of doing things whioh any small girl would take fer grenteti. In the Highlands, Princesa Anne foilowis the strenuous, open air pursui ts which cerne naturel- ly te this beisterous tomboy ei the royal family, By contrast with lis mnercurial sister, Prince Charles as bieir te the, tlirone is a serious, thiouglit- fui1j boy, witli a sense et humer but always censcious that lie ïnust do the riglit thing. Prin- ceas Anne, sturdily built and flaxen-heireti, is rnest often pic- tured in jodhbpurs witli corgi dogs chasing at ber heels, groom- ing lier peny, watching liorse trials or tennis cliampionships, even. pushing ber brother ini a wheelbarrow. Encouregeti by ber mother, an excellent _rideý. XPrincess Anne la now a fearless and accqmpiil'iedi borsewom-an. She loves practical jokes - oten carrieti eut at tlie eýXpense et the royal grooms - and like lier aunt, Princess, Margaret, lias a great facih-ïity for myimi'cry. 5h, is a keen Girl Guide, andi at Whtsun this year spent lier 1tirst weekend under canvas where alie shared the cliores of cooking andi weshîng dishes with other girls ef her own age. "It was an ordiniary guide camp thouglini prîvate groundis, andi they hadt t cope witli some rair, thougli net tee mucli," a spokes- man ef the Girl Guide Associa- tien saîd. The Buckinghamc Pal- ace Girl Guide company includes daughters of taxi drivers, police- mren, and ùthers living Ji or neer the palace.

When "dreaaei-ýup," Anne wears e simple redfingote coat, low- beeleti, trap shees sucb as lier mother miglit have worn et lier age.
