Royal observers are accustomed to seeing Princess Anne in two distinct looks: military garb, which she wore for her mother’s funeral, and exquisite event clothing, which consists of classy dress suits and comfortable heels.
Recalling her signature sophisticated yet unpretentious style, it was unexpected when the Princess Royal deviated from her two ensembles to visit the Badminton Horse Trials, choosing instead to wear jeans, sneakers, and—most surprisingly—a check shirt instead of shoes and skirts.
Well-known for her love of the great outdoors, Princess Anne looked perfectly at ease in her casual ensemble. Her checkered shirt appeared to be a favorite item in her off-duty wardrobe because it was comfortable and well-worn.
She also seemed comfortable in her bootcut jeans, despite their popularity. The princess typically wears slim-fitting pants for her public appearances, so her slightly voluminous jeans are quite the departure.
At the horse event, Princess Anne and her spouse, Sir Timothy Laurence, strolled around fields with their chosen trainers, fitting for the occasion.
Even a mement from her own competition days, or even from her daughter Zara Tindall’s, King Charles’ sister wore a gilet to ward off the springtime chill over her check shirt.
She also wore a bucket hat, a Gen-Z favorite, with the classic five-ring Olympics insignia embroidered on it.
Princess Anne’s Jewellery
The jewelry Princess Anne wore to complete her look was the only reference to her royal rank.
With her wide gold chain necklace and modest stud earrings—which seemed to have a pendant attached, but the princess kept it hidden beneath her soft shirt—the 73-year-old subtly elevated her outdoor ensemble.
