The 71-year-old royal dressed aptly for the cold, wrapping up warmly in a chic brown coat complete with faux fur trim and stylish oversized hood. Anne teamed her tonal outfit with knee-high boots and a tweed jacket, adding a flash of colour to her look with an elegant red blouse, of which the collar was visible beneath her neutral outwear.

The tweet read: "HRH The Princess Royal presenting Two Queen's Awards for Enterprise to @The_Skill_Mill

"It was wonderful to hear from the young people about the great impression Her Royal Highness made on them by listening to their stories. Thank you to everyone who helps us make a difference."

The Queen's daughter often strikes us as an unexpected style symbol, and we love her effortless ability to accessorise with statement pieces to elevate any look.

Silk ties are considered a very stylish addition to any wardrobe and the royal often uses one to add a pop of colour to her look. Anne is also a fan of knee-high boots, both practical and fashionable, adding elegance to her outfits.

It's been a busy week for the Princess Royal, who attended a Guinness Six Nations match between Scotland and England at BT Murrayfield in Edinburgh, Scotland on Saturday.

The Queen's daughter wore a navy double-breasted coat and a green and blue tartan scarf underneath what appeared to be a branded Scottish Rugby Union jacket as she watched the action from the stands.
