Princess Anne made an appearance at a Choral Evensong service in London this week and the Princess Royal looked stunning in a black cloak her late mother, Her Majesty the Queen, famously wore on several occasions.
The 73-year-old daughter of the late monarch gave a reading during the beautiful service at Temple Church, wearing a teal-coloured lace dress with the heavy regal cloak draped over the shoulders, topping off her elegant ensemble.
The sweeping floor-length "boat cloak" was the perfect statement piece for the service and is finished with beautiful gold accents including buttons and a chained brooch fastening on the collar.
The late Queen, who died aged 96 in September last year, wore the elegant piece a number of times, including in one iconic photograph taken by famed photographer Cecil Beaton at Buckingham Palace in 1968, when Elizabeth II was 42.
Her Late Majesty wore the cloak again in a portrait by famed celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz in 2007. The last time the former monarch was seen in the cloak in public was in 2012 when she attended her Diamond Jubilee concert held at Buckingham Palace.

In October, the royal attended a reception at Buckingham Palace held by King Charles and Queen Camilla to thank those involved in the planning and operational running of the funeral of the late monarch and the subsequent Coronation, when she wore some beloved jewels which had enormous sentimental value.

And it's not hard to see why, the Princess's gorgeous studs are gold with a large pearl encased in a leaf design, surrounded by several sparkling diamonds. The royal has worn the jewels a number of times over the years, including in Australia while on tour with her mother when she was 19.
