‘I’ve heard Princess Anne describe herself as an early adopter of making do and mend’
When she stepped out in February wearing a purple jacket that once belonged to her beloved mother Queen Elizabeth II, the Princess Royal was praised for her touching gesture.
But her choice of outfit also spoke volumes about the way she approaches fashion.
For although Princess Anne has long been one of the most hardworking members of the royal family, notching up 457 engagements last year, she also has one of the most hard-working wardrobes in public life.
Like her brother the King, Anne, 73, is often pictured wearing pieces that date back decades.
Her timeless style and striking choice of military uniform at the coronation even inspired a recent menswear collection by the Italian fashion house Fendi, with designer Silvia Venturini Fendi describing her as “the most elegant woman in the world”.
So what does the Princess.
