Princess Anne is one of the few royals that I find interesting, maybe because she and I are almost of an age. She’s a gutsy woman with many talents, including the ability to pull off an outfit like this one.
You never hear much about Princess Anne or her children, so I was glad to see the picture and get a little bit of scoop. Thanks.
