"Designed in the shape of a loosely knotted ribbon, the gold brooch is adorned with diamonds and was first seen on Anne in February 1969 at Buckingham Palace when she met Colonel Frank Borman, commander of the Apollo 8 mission," Steven Stone's Leading Jewellery Expert, Maxwell Stone told HELLO!.
"Despite its frequent appearances in her jewellery repertoire, the brooch’s origins remain unknown. However, its significance to the Princess Royal is evident.

"Anne often pairs the brooch with her iconic Grima Pearl earrings - another of her longest-serving jewellery staples.
Princess Anne's Easter plans
Following the annual church service at St George's Chapel, which wasn't attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales this year, Princess Anne and her royal relatives headed to King Charles' private home, Windsor Castle, for a family lunch.
After a hearty roast lamb served with all the trimmings, the royals made room for a second course of cheese and fruit, in particular, Windsor Cheese made at the Windsor Dairy.
And while King Charles is "not a huge fan of chocolate at all" - unlike his mother, the Late Queen - according to former royal chef Darren McGrady, it’s likely chocolate appears heavily on the menu.
