Princess Anne wore her favorite handbag from the Balmoral Castle gift shop with her signature 'snazzy sunglasses' in Greece on Monday, proving once again that there's no look that Queen Elizabeth II's only daughter can't pull off. 

The 74-year-old wore the practical accessories while representing the Royal Family at the funeral of the King Constantine II of Greece earlier this week. She was joined at the memorial service in Athens by her husband, Sir Tim Laurence, and Lady Gabriella Windsor, who was reportedly asked to attend on behalf of Prince William. 

The Princess Royal looked solemn as she expressed her condolences to the late King's wife, Anne-Marie, with a heartfelt hug and a few words of comfort. 

As for her outfit, Princess Anne wore a fitted black coat adorned with fur trim and a pair of high-knee black boots. She accessorized the funereal ensemble with black leather gloves, a black and white patterned scarf, and an elegant silver brooch.

Always one to prioritize practicality in her fashion, Anne also wore her Balmoral Blue Jura Handbag for the somber event.
