$450,000 estate for Anne
NZPA-Reuter London The Queen has bought Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips a present — a 600-acre estate in the Cotswold Hills, in Gloucestershire, reports the “Daily Mirror" newspaper. The new estate adjoins the one the Queen bought them last year — Gatcombe Park, near Stroud — but it probably cost only half as much, about $450,000, says the newspaper.
The new estate, Aston Farm, adjoins a Royal Air Force station with a useable runway. _ The farm’s present owner, Captain Vaisey Davis, aged 93, raises pedigree beef cattle. A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “Princess Anne and Captain Phillips will use the land, of course, but it has been decided the owners of Aston Farm will be able to stay in the house for the rest of their lives.”
