Princess Anne appeared unfazed by the mounting controversy surrounding her younger brother, once again demonstrating her reputation as the monarchy’s most dependable royal.
On October 21, the Princess Royal carried out a busy day of dual engagements, calmly fulfilling her duties even as speculation over Prince Andrew’s public role continues to grow.
Anne began her day in Derby, where she marked the 70th anniversary of the Leylands Estate a 10-acre gated community for retired retail workers first opened by her late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1955.
Ever the picture of composure and commitment, the Princess chatted warmly with residents, honouring her mother’s legacy while celebrating the estate’s milestone.
Later in the afternoon, she travelled to London to visit the newly revamped New Scotland Yard Crime Museum, maintaining her trademark focus and composure amid the ongoing royal turbulence.
She wore a cropped red jacket that has been a faithful fixture in her wardrobe since 2022.
Three years ago while presenting the Princess Royal Training Awards at London’s Banqueting House. Back then, she paired it with a burgundy skirt and classic leather gloves.
Fast forward to her latest engagement at New Scotland Yard, and the Princess gave the look a fresh twist, teaming the same jacket with sleek black trousers and block heel shoes.
And for those who’ve followed her wardrobe closely, Anne’s winter love affair with red is nothing new.
At the 2025 Cheltenham Festival, she turned heads once again in a striking scarlet longline coat, finished with a black faux fur hat, tasselled boots, and a printed scarf.
