Anne, Princess Royal (and later by marriage Princess of Orange) was the second child and eldest daughter of King George II of Great Britain and his consort Caroline of Ansbach. On 25 March 1734 in the Chapel Royal at St. James's Palace, she married William IV, Prince of Orange.

William is symbolized by a Phoenix rising from its ashes, as he had from the bed of extreme sickness, and thanks are returned for his recovery.
