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.

Lady Rose Windsor and George Gilman got married on July 19, 2008 at the Queen’s Chapel at London’s St. James Palace. The 28-year-old bride is a relative of Queen Elizabeth. Her father is the Duke of Gloucester, the Queen’s cousin. Lady Rose works as art assistant and appears in the credits of the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The groom, 26, is the son of Peter and Gillian Gilman.

Notable attendees at the low-key wedding were Princess Anne, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, Peter and Autumn Phillips, Lady Sarah Chatto and Kate Middleton.

This is the second royal wedding that Kate has attended without Prince William. She was also a solo guest at Peter and Autumn’s wedding. Prince William is still undergoing training with the Royal Navy, and was unable to attend. Prince Harry is doing charity work in Lesotho.
