Princess Anne channels Kate Middleton with heritage-inspired look

Princess Anne showed that classic style never goes out of fashion as she stepped out in Wales this month, channelling Kate Middleton’s autumn wardrobe with a heritage-inspired look.

During her visit to the Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre, the 75-year-old Princess Royal wore a tailored grey checked blazer with subtle yellow piping, paired with a timeless black A-line skirt, leather boots and gloves.

The outfit struck a perfect balance between practical and polished, echoing the heritage print trend dominating runways this fall.

What caught royal watchers’ attention was the coincidence: on the very same day, Kate Middleton appeared at the Silk Mill in Whitchurch wearing a sharp Prince of Wales check trouser suit.

Kate has made checks and tweed her seasonal signature, often reaching for Alessandra Rich’s vintage-inspired pieces and structured tailoring.

While Kate modernises heritage prints with sleek silhouettes, Anne leans into tradition, recycling wardrobe staples she’s worn for decades, long before sustainable fashion became mainstream.
