- <p> The terse announcement from Buckingham Palace last week
- that Princess Anne and her husband Captain Mark Phillips had
- decided to separate was no surprise. Though tattle about the
- foundering 15-year marriage was always denied, it grew more
- persistent as the couple spent less and less time together. Most
- of the gossip dwelt on outside romantic liaisons, but the
- marriage, which produced two children, may have simply been a
- dreary mismatch. ANNE WANTED HER FREEDOM, blared the Daily Mail,
- claiming that the princess was tired of years of pretense.
