Princess Anne's Thrifty Fashion Choices
Hey there, royal watchers! We all know Kate Middleton is famous for reusing her favorite outfits, but Princess Anne might just be the queen of recycling in the royal family. Recently, Queen Elizabeth's 67-year-old daughter stepped out in London for the Commonwealth Day church service at Westminster Abbey. And guess what? Those eagle-eyed royal enthusiasts noticed something familiar about her chic coat dress. Turns out, Anne has been rocking this same look for nearly 40 years! Yes, you heard that right — four decades!
According to Majesty Magazine’s Managing Editor Joe Little, Anne was first spotted wearing this cream and navy ensemble at the Royal Ascot back in June 1980. She then reprised the look at the Epsom Derby in June 1985. What’s even more fascinating is how Anne has accessorized the outfit consistently over the years. She’s kept it fresh with pretty hats, navy gloves, gold brooches, and matching pumps. It’s like she has her own personal style playbook, and she sticks to it flawlessly.

Fans Applaud Princess Anne's Fashion Choices
Online reactions were overwhelmingly positive as fans praised Anne for bringing back the decades-old dress coat for Commonwealth Day on Monday, March 12. One commenter wrote, “Kudos to the princess on it still fitting!” Another added, “Amazing she can still fit into it, awesome that she is frugal and thrifty, [and] she looks good in it, so why not!?” It’s clear that Anne’s dedication to sustainable fashion resonates with people who appreciate practicality and style.
But this isn’t the first time Anne has revisited her wardrobe. Back in 2015, she rewore a 35-year-old blouse and coat that she was photographed wearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony in 1980. Talk about timeless fashion! Anne’s ability to make her outfits work across decades is nothing short of impressive.
