Princess Anne was reunited with a former policeman for the first time since he saved her from an attempted armed kidnap nearly four decades ago.
Former Pc Ivor MacGregor received the Queen's Police Award for his lifelong services to policing at Buckingham Palace - from Anne herself.
It was first time the 64-year-old had spoken to the Princess since he wrestled a revolver from the hands of a mentally ill man who had opened fire at her Rolls Royce as it drove along London's Mall in 1974.

Love the seaming details on her coat, and the color, too. And, her little Bucephalus tie pin. And her 40 year old handbag. She's got it together!!!
 
Good Lord I would love to put some make up on HRH! Some eyebrow pencil to be sure! Of course she would, in her regal way smack across the head. :D
Other than that, she performed, as per usual, flawlessly.

What is Princess Anne's London residence?
Buckingham Palace, or St. James Palace?

I tried to look it up but there are conflicting statements.

I think that Princess Anne's London residence is St.James Palace.

Buckingham Palace is London residence of the Duke of York and the Earl and Countess of Wessex

I really like her outfit in the "Pic" you posted. Sometimes I wonder what Princess Anne would look like with a different hairstyle. :flowers: Oh, and different sunglasses! :D
