Princess Anne has begun a 'gradual return' to public duties after she was struck by a horse last month. And she did so in style, opting for a sage green suit, which sat on top of a red cardigan and patterned silk scarf, with rich navy-coloured accessories.
The Princess Royal, 73, spent five nights in hospital suffering from concussion following the incident, which happened while out walking on 23 June. As Princess Anne's stay went on, speculation started that her injury might be more serious than initially thought, so it was a welcome relief to see her return to duty looking so well.
And as ever, her wardrobe was on point. We may be in the middle of July, but Anne's outfit was perfect for the cold and drizzly weather we've been having this week. The Princess always dresses well, however today she looked particularly stylish.

Princess Anne's outfit inspired us to have a look at sage green in general, and, while it might not have been the first choice of suit colour, it's now topping our list - especially with this offering from & Other Stories. The linen blend makes this perfect for warmer months, and we couldn't love the eye-catching but subtle colour.
The trouser part of the above suit - these are an exact match, colour-wise. The wide leg design makes them super comfortable and on-trend, linen keeps them cool and a high waist and centre front pleats make them beautifully flattering.
Hard to believe we're recommending boots right now, but, alas, here we are. A quality pair of Chelsea boots are a great wardrobe staple for chilly and wet weather. This pair from M&S are sophisticated and elegant, and the design includes Insolia Flex technology to ensure your feet are correctly positioned.
Always on trend, Princess Anne completed her outfit with rich navy gloves, Trilby hat, patterned silk scarf and black leather crossbody bag. And it's no surprise she put a lot of effort into today. The Princess Royal was dressed up for an important occasion - Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA), which took place in Hartpury university and college. The RDA championships is said to be the biggest equestrian event of its kind for disabled competitors.
If the pictures are anything to go by, Princess Anne was really in her element visiting the RDA. Here's hoping this is the start of many more public appearances as she makes a full recovery.
