The Princess Royal appears to have paid a sweet tribute to her late mother, Queen Elizabeth, during a recent outing. Princess Anne paid a sweet tribute to her late mother, Queen Elizabeth, during Monday’s memorial service for King Constantine of Greece in Windsor. The Princess Royal joined the rest of the Firm as they headed to St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle for a thanksgiving service to the last king of Greece.

Underneath her giant shawl, Anne wore a black button-down jacket which bears a striking resemblance to one the late monarch used to wear. Queen Elizabeth wore a very similar button-down coat during Remembrance Sunday in 2018. On Monday, Anne paired her jacket with what appears to be a black, knee-length skirt and a patterned white and black lightweight scarf. She accessorised the look with a black hat and black knee-high boots.

The royal has previously worn her mother’s clothing pieces, including during an appearance last month when she donned a purple checked velvet coat worn by the late Queen to a public event in Nottingham. She has also worn Elizabeth’s Admiral’s Cloak to a church service last November. Constantine’s memorial service was not attended by King Charles as the monarch steps back from public-facing duties while he undergoes cancer treatment.
Prince William also had to miss the event due to a “personal matter”, according to Kensington Palace. Instead, Queen Camilla led the royals who were joined by the late king’s widow Queen Anne-Marie, their eldest son, Crown Prince Pavlos and other members of the Greek royal family.
Constantine II was a first cousin once removed and sailing partner of the late Duke of Edinburgh and died at the age of 82 in January last year in an Athens hospital. Charles had a close friendship with Constantine, choosing him as a godfather for his son Prince Wiliam.
