The Princess Royal, 73, schooled us all in sustainable fashion earlier this month when she stepped out in Dubai wearing a dress she had first debuted in her twenties.
On Tuesday, Princess Anne once again effortlessly proved her eco style credentials when she slipped into a fitted turquoise dress and wore a triple string of pearls - believed to have belonged to her late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The elegant royal teamed up with Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh for an engagement at Buckingham Palace to mark the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, and put her most fashionable foot forward for the occasion.

Most striking about her outfit, however, was the glittering heart-shaped brooch pinned to the centre of her collar. The silver pin, embellished with a solitary turquoise gemstone, was first worn during the Princess Royal's visit to the Alexandra Dock at Belfast Harbour in April 2023.

Given the brooch's fun design, it may have been a gift for the Princess Royal from her grandchildren, whom she is particularly close to.

Speaking about his mother as a grandmother, Peter said in the documentary: "She loves seeing them ride, she loves having them round for Sunday lunches and taking them for walks. Doing all the things that we would do as kids."
