What jumped out at me were the lovely pictures of Anne at the C&D wedding. She was beautiful. Zara is her spitting image.

HRH's finances cant be all that flash. Not wanting to put a too fine a point on it, but The Princess is a naval wife. The help she gets from the Queen wouldn't cover all her costs in attending to all her duties. (Another reason why I think she should scale back.) Add that to the money she spends on horses, and you get to see what I mean.

From a number of horsey websites, I've done my maths and added 2 and 2 together and got what figure I liked but I calculated the finances of those horse shows as being a labour of love. I know Gatcombe attracts big crowds but I see cant see the money because of the cost of the facilities.

With Mr Peter now in charge, maybe his mother might be able to be kept in a custom she deserves.

I agree with Skydragon, it's great that she still fits in that dress...and anyway, I think it suits her as much as it did 27 years ago

Exactly!
Anyways, her dress was ugly 27 years ago and, of course, it is still ugly now!

I agree but worst of all is the hat - is it really a hat or a pan of fried eggs fixed at her hairdo?

Even the german press has picked up the story. It's simply Anne, if we like it or not. She doesn't give a second thought to put it politely.

What I don't understand is, why everyboday says, that it's impolite of Anne to wear a dress a second time? Is it because it was Charles and Dianas wedding or is it only because people can't accept that royals have the same right to be normal, as we have? I mean, if one of us wears a dress two times nobody would say anything because it's fine but when one of them does it, it's almost a crime! I think that's quite immature of people to say...

I think its nice to see someone in the BRF practical. Especially with all the grumbling about the cost of the Royal Family on the taxpayers. It's amazing how well Princess Anne has kept her fantastic figure. Good for her.

Amazing to be able to wear a dress from 27 years ago but she is an athlete and lives on a working farm so she has had and maintained the most amazing and healthy figure of any royal woman.

That being said: She looked awful in the dress at Lady Rose's wedding because the dress hasn't remained quite as opaque. Silk doesn't hold up and deterioates...and the dress looks limp where the ruffles should look perky.

The hat was beyond awful. It looked like a Range Rover had run over it and they tried to fluff it out. Fresh hats and headwear is a must.

All in all, Princess Anne is a sensible woman which is always refreshing.
She never looked more elegant and beautiful than her 50th birthday portrait.
Oh, and let's hope the dress doesn't bring the newly married couple the same bad luck as Charles and Diana!

Gatecombe is hosting another horse show this coming weekend. Due to waterlogging at this weekend's planned show at Highclere, Gatecombe might go extra day.
