The princess carried her mother close to her.
If there is one member of the British royals who is all about pragmatics, it is undoubtedly Anne, Princess Royal. With her go-getter mentality and preference for vintage clothing over new designer pieces, she is a particularly popular member of The Firm. However, the outfit she wore yesterday during a visit to Nottingham had a very special meaning for the princess.
Vintage outfit
Princess Anne never ceases to amaze with her thrifty sense of fashion. For example, last summer she wore a dress at Royal Ascot that she had already pulled out of the closet 45 years earlier, and over the years she has repeatedly chosen outfits from the archives over new designers who are eager to dress the princess. .
Sustainability about designer pieces – many other royals can follow this example! Moreover, by wearing vintage outfits, the princess has the opportunity to pay tribute to the past in a sweet way. Yesterday she appeared at the textile company GH Hurt & Son in Nottingham in a coat that was first worn by Anne’s own mother, the late Queen Elizabeth.

Mom’s coat
Keen royalty watchers immediately recognized the purple coat that Anne wore during her visit as a coat that Queen Elizabeth wore in 2006 during a family cruise through the Scottish islands.
She happily boarded the Hebridean Princess with the whole family, and they made several visits to the islands along the way.
Whether Anne wants to indicate in this way that she is ready for such a Scottish cruise holiday, or whether she simply felt the need to carry her mother close (literally) – either way, it is a sweet gesture from the princess. .
Special visit
Anne’s outing had everything to do with her role as chair of the UK Fashion and Textiles Association. But the Windsors also have a special bond with the Nottingham company! For true royalty connoisseurs, the name GH Hurt & Son will probably already ring a bell. This manufacturer of luxury knitwear is the one that also makes the famous baby blankets in which many royal babies have made their debut in recent years.
According to stories, the late Elizabeth stocked up on the baby blankets when Prince Charles was born, and in recent years William and Kate have also chosen to show their George, Charlotte, and Louis to the world in such a blanket.
