Princess Anne is renowned for being the hardest working member of the royal family, racking up a record number of public engagements in 2022, but her wardrobe works even harder.
The Princess Royal put in a smart appearance at the 30th Anniversary Parade for the Royal Logistic Corps in Winchester on Thursday, dressed to the nines in a pretty pastel coat and coordinating hat. The 72-year-old royal, who is the Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Logistic Corps, first attended the special parade at Guildhall Winchester followed before witnessing a Service of Thanksgiving at Winchester Cathedral.
She caught the eye in a smart fit-and-flare coat in a pretty mint green shade, boasting silk button detailing and a demure knee-length cut.
Princess Anne wore a bold teal dress underneath her statement outerwear and set off her elegant attire with a wide-brimmed hat embellished with ribbon detailing.

The Princess Royal was last seen a week ago during a joint outing with her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
The pair were in Liverpool together where they opened a garden of reflection for the servicemen who lost their lives during the Battle of the Atlantic during World War II.
The military campaign lasted from 1939 to 1945 and it's estimated that 65,000 seamen were killed during the long-running battle.
