Princess Anne bears an eerie resemblance to Queen Mary, wife of King George V, in archival images.
According to the Royal Collection Trust, Mary had a keen interest in collecting artifacts and, after marrying King George V in 1893, she “emerged as a collector in her own right.”
The official website states: “She began by collecting works of art that had once belonged to her own family but had subsequently been dispersed.
“She was fastidious about researching objects and keeping catalogue records, and tracked objects down sometimes long after they had been sold off.
“After her marriage, Queen Mary widened this interest in her own family possessions to include all objects with historical links to the British royal family.
“She was a regular and well-known visitor to the dealers and the museums in London and took a close interest in the Royal Collection, both in terms of content and display.
“She refurbished the interiors at the Palace of Holyroodhouse and some of Buckingham Palace, and Frogmore House, where she also replanted much of the garden.”
