Princess Anne has had a busy week, flying to Athens for the funeral of King Constantine of Greece, before making her way to Edinburgh for a tree-planting ceremony in honour of her late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

The Princess Royal met with Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon and other members of the Scottish government on Thursday, visiting Holyrood Park and getting stuck in planting the 70th tree in the Queen's Jubilee Wood, which was gifted to the late Queen last year in honour of her 70 years on the throne.

It seems the 72-year-old has been taking style inspiration from the Princess of Wales, who sported a similar palette during a visit to Scarborough in November 2022.

The tree planting ceremony wasn't Princess Anne's only duty in Scotland this week, with Wednesday seeing King Charles' sister host the investiture ceremony at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, including honours for Team GB's curling team, who won gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

The royal wore military dress as she met Scottish curlers, Mili Smith, Victoria Drummond, Jennifer Dodds, Hailey Duff and coach David Murdoch.

For the funeral of King Constantine, Princess Anne of course opted for sombre mourning clothes, and during the ceremony displayed a rare display of public affection, embracing Constantine's heartbroken widow, Anne-Marie.

The Princess Royal was pictured with her arms around grieving Anne-Marie and looking at her with concern as they exchanged a few words together.
