Princess Anne was the picture of autumnal elegance on Saturday as she stepped out to attend QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot Racecourse.

For the equestrian extravaganza, Anne, 74, wrapped up warm in a caramel coat, suede boots, chocolate leather gloves and a cosy check scarf in mustard and charcoal grey.

She wore her outerwear layered over a chic tweed jacket and a silk scarf emblazoned with splashes of burgundy, ochre and caramel.

The late Queen's daughter wore her tresses in her trademark beehive and spruced up her look with a pair of simple gold earrings, a slick of pink lipstick and her beloved gold and diamond equestrian-themed brooch which she pinned to her jacket.

Anne was joined at the prestigious event by her husband Sir Timothy Laurence. Echoing his wife's smart attire, Sir Timothy, 69, rocked a smart tweed jacket, a crisp white shirt and a colourful tie peppered with horses.

The Princess Royal is renowned for her love of sport and horse riding. She was the first British royal to compete at the Olympics, participating at the 1976 Games in Montreal.

It's a passion she's since passed on to her daughter Zara Tindall who also took part in the Olympics back in 2012 where she took home a silver medal.

Reflecting on her family's obsession with horses, Zara previously told People in 2023: "Our horses are in our family. There's always discussions about performances and things like that."

She continued: "There's horses in her [Anne's] life and she does a bit of breeding as well."

Elsewhere, Zara, 43, went on to say: "I think just the passion and love for horses that's been passed down through our family. We're very lucky to have them in our lives.

"Being able to do it every day is incredible and it's such an amazing sport. Any equestrian sport, that partnership between the horse and rider, or an owner and the horse is, it's incredible. We're very lucky to work with horses."

Earlier in the week, Anne attended a performance by the Spanish Riding School of Vienna at the OVO Wembley Arena in London. Dressed to impress, the royal mother-of-two donned her vibrant 'Nehru Coat in Venetian Red' crafted by Shibumi.
