- The royal pair attended the inauguration of The OWO, Whitehall, Raffles' first London hotel.
- In other royal news, Kate Middleton’s valuable skill that could ‘help the monarchy survive’ after ‘years perfecting’ it.
On Tuesday, the Princess Royal was among the attendees at the official inauguration of the new hotel, The OWO (Old War Office) in London. For this engagement, the Princess met with a number of hoteliers and chatted about this exciting new venture. For the engagement, the Princess looked wonderful as she dressed in a bold retro spotted suit.
The iridescent suit was printed with giant polka dots and gave an 80s feel to this ensemble. The Princess Royal paired this suit with an ornate golden brooch which matched the gold detailing on her neck scarf which she had tied and tucked into her suit.
Anne completed this zany ensemble with some classic pieces such as her flat suede ballerina-style pumps, her black gloves, and her black clutch bag which she wedged underneath her underarm.
The Princess Royal wasn't the only Royal Family member at this engagement as Anne's niece, Princess Beatrice, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi were also in attendance.
For the event, the Princess wore one of her go-to Erdem dresses from the 2012 collection that she has been seen in on many occasions. The Princess also wore a classic black coat and a pair of Jimmy Choo black suede pumps that she has owned for some time.
Although Princess Anne's polka-dot suit might be a little bit out there for everyday or office wear, her accessories were undeniably fantastic, and the perfect addition to many looks. There are a number of stores that sell pieces just like the Princess Royal's so you too can emulate her style with a variety of different wardrobe pieces.
