is e, and today was like no other as she turned heads in a sophisticated winter staple as she headed down to Glouctershire. The Princess met victims of Storm Bert in Lydney and was snapped chatting to agencies and volunteers who assisted with the town’s recovery.
Back in November, a powerful windstorm brought heavy rain, snow, and strong wind which caused devastating damage to properties in the area. The 74-year-old looked stylish as ever in an elegant wool-blend coat.
Featuring a rich forest green tone the stunning design features plush velvet cuffs and a coordinating collar. The coat’s buttons were also a darker hue of green and ran down the centre of the garment.
She completed the regal look with a pair of brown suede gloves and a tweed handbag that she tossed over her shoulder. Meanwhile, she accessorised with a stunning gold and emerald brooch which she has been spotted wearing over the years.

Anne was first publicly snapped wearing the design back in March 2002 at the Cheltenham Festival, which is one of the biggest race events in the British calendar.
At the time she decided to perfectly colour match the garment to her headpiece. The velvet collar was identical to the fabric of the hate she wore.
Meanwhile, Royal fans may recall seeing Anne wear the same coat at Cheltenham 20 years later again at the British horse racing event.

It is no secret that she is a huge fan of horse racing and equestrian sports. She regularly attends Cheltenham Festival, and her daughter Zara Tindall is a director at the racecourse.
Back in 2022, she decided to sport the look by adding a sophisticated detail. Princess Anne wore a beautiful green-leaf detail neck scarf.
A neck scarf is a simple way to amp up the elegance of any outfit and Queen Elizabeth II was a huge fan of the accessory and wore them on many occasions during her 70-year reign.

The Princess is often referred to as the hardest-working Royal and it was recently announced she is the new patron of Scottish Rugby’s charity, the Murrayfield Injured Players Foundation (MIPF).
The organisation provides support to injured players facing hardships due to injury in the grassroots game in Scotland.
