What year did Princess Anne compete in the olympic games?
Princess Anne, the second child and only daughter of Her Majesty The Queen, also represents Britain in a number of other sport federations including British Olympic Association.
Despite being busy with her official duties, she has always shown a keen interest in horse riding pursuits. The Princess won a gold medal (1971) and two silver medals (1975) at the European Eventing Championships, and was the first member of the Royal Family to have competed in the Olympic Games in Montreal in 1976.
Her daughter Zara has followed in her mother’s footsteps competing in the London 2012 Olympics, winning a silver medal with the Great Britain Eventing Team.

I didn't even get to answer this because it was already answered...wrong of course! AND this is NOT the first time this has happened and I'm really pissed off because I knew the answer to this!

She is the hardest working Royal. She does more official visits than any other Royal.

billptxb. The dates are correct. She won her medals at the European Eventing Championships in 71 and 75, not at the 76 Olympics.

She is also known for equestrian talents; she won two silver medals (1975) and one gold medal (1971) at the European Eventing Championships and is the first member of the British Royal Family to have competed in the Olympic Games. Princess Anne has held the title of Princess Royal since 1987 and is its seventh holder. The dates are off by a year and she won twice, two silver and one gold
