Princess Anne made a bold departure from the traditional royal fashion norms at the recent Commonwealth event held in London.
The Princess stood out alongside Queen Elizabeth, Prince William, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh during a special service, showcasing her unique style.
Her attire for the occasion was a delightful floral coat paired with a matching scarf, elegantly topped off with a duck egg blue hat that perfectly complemented her ensemble.
Despite the admiration for her stunning appearance, it was noted that this was not the first time Princess Anne had donned this particular outfit.
Last year, during her visit to Canada, she graced the public in a striking red coat, demonstrating her penchant for recycling her wardrobe for various public engagements.
It is known that the Princess often reuses her clothing items and even incorporates pieces inherited from the late Queen into her outfits.
In contrast to her granddaughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, known for her skillful clothing recycling, Queen Elizabeth opted for a different approach by avoiding repeating her jewelry choices.
Renowned fashion journalist Elizabeth Holmes shed light on this royal fashion phenomenon in her book, “HRH, Many Thoughts on Royal Style,” revealing that each of the Queen’s outfits is meticulously documented to ensure strategic spacing of repetitions to maintain public interest.
The reactions from royal enthusiasts were overwhelmingly positive, with many describing Princess Anne’s outfit as beautiful and exquisite.
Notably, during a royal tour of Canada in 2023, the Princess Royal revisited the same dress, this time accentuating it with a tasteful brooch.
