There was a time when Peter Cross kept a photograph of Princess Anne in the spare bedroom of his Kent home. By her side: Princess Anne with her lover/bodyguard Peter Cross (right) and her husband Mark Phillips (left) in 1980. I got used to them shouting, 'Dad, it's Princess Anne on the phone for you!' I think I was more amused at the time that I'd spoken to Princess Anne on the phone. Princess Anne divorced in 1992 and married Commander Laurence, now a vice admiral, in December that year.
