Princess Anne is being prosecuted under the Dangerous Dogs Act after her pet bull terrier savagely attacked a couple in Windsor Great Park.
The Princess Royal and her husband, Commodore Tim Laurence, have both been summonsed to appear before East Berkshire magistrates in ten days' time where they each face a fine of up to £5,000 and up to six months' imprisonment.
Magistrates can also order the destruction of the animal and have the power under the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act to disqualify the Princess and her husband from keeping a dog.
It is the first time such a senior member of the Royal Family has been summonsed to appear before a criminal court for an offence other than exceeding the speed limit.
Princess Anne is also no stranger to court summonses - she has four speeding convictions. In November 1972 she was given a written warning after being clocked at up to 90mph on the M1. Police did not prosecute.
In January 1977, the Princess, then 26, was fined £40 in Alfreton, Derbyshire, for doing 96mph on the M1. And in October 1990 she was fined £150 and banned for one month by magistrates in Stowonthe-Wold, near Gatcombe Park, after admitting two separate speeding offences.
Her latest brush with the speed camera came in August 2000, when she was clocked doing 93mph in her Bentley on the A417 Brockworth by-pass near Gatcombe.
As a result she was fined £400, ordered to pay £30 costs and her licence was endorsed with five penalty points by Cheltenham magistrates
