Accidental style icon. That describes Princess Anne , the indefatigable royal who turns 75 Friday, who has no intention of retiring to private life despite her age. At an official event attended by other royals such as Kate Middleton and Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh , it’s unlikely that the second-born daughter of Queen Elizabeth will make headlines for her look, but hers may be the most interesting of all. There is no special process around what she wears other than the directions prescribed by protocol, there are no stylists to select her outfits, and she has not created any association with luxury brands. Yet Princess Anne is undoubtedly a style icon, even if by accident. The reason? She is one of the few royals who dress with personality. And you either have that or you don't,
Is Princess Anne the Royal Family’s Accidental Style Icon?
