Princess Anne made a grand entrance in Dubai for her second overseas royal visit of the year, captivating onlookers with her impeccable style and grace.

Known for her thrifty yet elegant fashion choices, the Princess Royal showcased her sartorial prowess during her recent sojourn in the United Arab Emirates.

As the President of the Mission to Seafarers (MTS), an organization pivotal in the global transportation of goods and fuel, Princess Anne embarked on a multi-day voyage to Dubai.

Among the highlights of her visit was a tour of the Queen Elizabeth II (QE2), a distinctive floating hotel boasting 13 floors.

For this special occasion, the discerning princess opted for a striking turquoise shirt dress, complemented by a matching jacket.

Despite being 73 years old, Princess Anne maintains a busy schedule attending numerous royal engagements each year, effortlessly accessorizing her ensemble with a leather clutch bag and stylish heels.

Her choice of attire garnered widespread admiration from fashion enthusiasts and royal admirers alike, for two significant reasons.

Firstly, Princess Anne reaffirmed her reputation as a thrifty royal by donning a dress she first wore over four decades ago in 1978.

This nostalgic gesture may also have served as a touching homage to her late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who sported a similar turquoise outfit back in September 1967 during the opening of the QE2.

Notably, this isn’t the first instance where Princess Anne has paid tribute to her beloved mother through her wardrobe choices at official functions.

Just last month, during her visit to Nottingham, the princess donned a lilac coat that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, showcasing her sentimental side and deep connection to her mother’s legacy.

During her time in Dubai, Princess Anne visited DP World’s Jebel Ali Port, the bustling hub of maritime activity in the Middle East.

Witnessing firsthand the intricate process of container transfer from ship to shore, she engaged with task force members, frontline workers, and the dedicated social services team of MTS.

Additionally, the princess took the opportunity to meet with British servicemen at Al Minhad Air Base, inaugurating the new Donnelly Lines facility amidst much fanfare.
