She is a former dressage world champion and was a member of the 2008 Danish Olympic team. The photo above was taken in 2007 during a training event for the World Cup Challenge in Odense, Denmark.

Much is being made of the dress that Princess Anne wore to last weekend’s wedding between Lady Rose Windsor and George Gilman. The white and yellow print dress was the same one that the Princess Royal wore to the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, 27 years ago! She even wore the same yellow hat.

In terms of fashion, Princess Anne’s choice seems to be more talked about than even the bride’s gown. Lady Rose Windsor, by the way, wore a gown by London-based Franka Couture. Kate Middleton, whose fashion choices are also scrutinized often, wore a knee-length dress, paired with a light blue jacket and a black fascinator.

Princess Anne is well-known for her frugal ways. It’s not a big surprise for her to re-use a dress she’s already worn before. And anyway, vintage is the new black. So Princess Anne is very much on top of today’s trends.
