Princess Anne was spotted fulfilling her long-given name as the "hardest-working royal" as she took on another public engagement this week, on this occasion in the capital city.
The Princess Royal, 73, was seen paying a visit to the Mary’s Living & Giving shop in Wandsworth that raises money for Save the Children, the charity of which Anne is a patron. The royal was seen wearing a tasteful stone-coloured smart jacket.
Anne wore the jacket done up with a coordinating pleated midi skirt over a pair of stylish black suede knee-high boots that her sister-in-law Queen Camilla would admire. The Princess looked immaculate with a printed scarf tied around her neck and created a prim and proper look with her black gloves and leather shoulder bag.
As usual, the King's sister wore her hair up with plenty of volume at the root and attached a silver brooch to her blazer. Her makeup look, as we have come to expect from the royal, was applied in a minimalist fashion.
The Princess Royal paid the shop a visit to thank the volunteers and staff for their work to raise money for Save the Children. Her Royal Highness became president of Save the Children UK in 1970, before transitioning to the role of Patron in 2017.

Anne most recently visited Sri Lanka to commemorate 50 years of Save the Children's work there.

The royal visited Laxtons Specialist Yarns spinning factory, and weaving mill Marton Mills in Pool-in-Wharfedale, Otley on Thursday where she pulled the brightest coat she owns out of her wardrobe.

Princess Anne, who is president of the UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT), switched on Laxtons' newly installed reeling machine, which promises to improve productivity and reduce the company’s energy consumption.

Anne was seen styling a bright teal longline wool coat which she once again styled with black boots, a black suede clutch, and a bright necksacrf - her go-to wardrobe for February.
