Princess Anne brings back old memories during Singapore visit

Anne originally wore the safari suit in July 1973 at a polo match at Smith’s Lawn in Windsor Park.
Princess Anne takes royal fans down memory lane during her official visit to Singapore with her husband, Sir Tim Lawrence.

The Princess Royal was in the country to celebrate six decades of diplomatic ties between the UK and Singapore, which joined the Commonwealth in 1965.

But it was not just the significance of the trip that captured attention-it was Anne’s wardrobe. While touring the Rolls-Royce Seletar Campus, the 75-year-old royal was spotted wearing a tan safari suit that many instantly recognised.

The outfit, neatly preserved and still impeccably tailored, is one she wore more than 50 years ago.

The moment quickly sparked excitement online, royal observers flooding social media to celebrate the nostalgic fashion comeback.

One fan claims: ‘Princess Anne is the Queen of recycling!’

Another echoed the same feelings, praising Princess Anne for bringing back iconic look.

Anne originally wore the safari suit in July 1973 at a polo match at Smith’s Lawn in Windsor Park, accompanied by her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips.

She was photographed in it again two years later at Heathrow Airport, returning from an equestrian event in Boston with Phillips, who had secured Olympic gold.

Anne and Phillips, who married in 1973 and divorced in 1992, share two children-Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall.

Over the years, Anne has subtly updated the vintage look, pairing the the outfit with a blouse, adding a retro collar, and rolling up the sleeves for a more contemporary finish.

The couple’s stop in Singapore comes on the heels of a four-day tour of Australia, rounding off a busy period of international engagements for the Princess Royal.
