News of the British royal family continues to be dominated by questions around the public future of Prince Andrew after he relinquished his titles on 17 October after a line of scandals linking him to the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, emerged, including an unearthed email from 2011 which saw King Charles' brother allegedly tell Epstein: "I'm just as concerned for you! Don't worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise, keep in close touch and we'll play some more soon!!!!"
However, Prince Andrew's sister, Princess Anne, has kept focused on her royal duties as she stepped out on 21 October for a two-engagement day. The 75-year-old daughter of the late Queen and Prince Philip first visited Derby to mark the 70th anniversary of the Leylands Estate, a 10-acre gated community for retired retail workers, which was opened by her late mother in 1955. She then travelled to London to pay the new New Scotland Yard Crime Museum a visit.
She was seen wearing a cropped red jacket, which hasn't left her wardrobe since 2022, when, in her capacity as the president of the City and Guilds of London Institute, Anne presented 46 UK organisations with their Princess Royal Training Awards during a ceremony at Banqueting House in London.
On this occasion, she paired the jacket, which featured a round neckline, boxy shoulders, and buttons down the front, with a burgundy skirt and leather gloves. However, on her more recent outing, Anne was seen entering New Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the Metropolitan police service, having teamed the jacket with black trousers and block-heel shoes.
