Princess Anne wore emerald green to her niece Princess Eugenie's wedding today to Jack Brooksbank. Her bright green hat matched her dress—and was a subtle, if likely coincidental, nod to the emerald tiara that the bride borrowed from Queen Elizabeth's collection. The Queen's only daughter completed her look with simple black heels, black gloves, and a black leather bag.

OWEN HUMPHREYS Though many members of Princess Anne's family wear bright colors at public events—the better to be seen by crowds and stand out in photographs—the Princess Royal favors more subdued colors. She wore a burgundy silk dress and feathered fascinator to her nephew Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle last May. Getty Images Like many members of the royal family, the Queen's daughter recycles favorite outfits. But Princess Anne may hold the record for rewearing an outfit over the longest span. She wore a coat last March that she first wore in the 1980s. Getty Images Anne's outfit likely dates back to the late 1970s, and she was first seen wearing this cream and navy outfit almost four decades ago at the Royal Ascot in June 1980. While her fashion choices might best be described as sensible, Princess Anne does have a penchant for bold sunglasses. She has worn a distinctive wrap style to several royal and family events.

Meghan Markle and Princess Anne were guests at Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's royal wedding at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle on Friday, and the two members of the British family had a lovely time chatting before the ceremony began. Fans on Twitter noted that the sweet moment between the Duchess of Sussex and Princess Anne was one of their favorite highlights of the royal event leading up to the wedding itself. Princess Meghan and Princess Anne chatting is giving me life! pic.twitter.com/xcwI7p2Km6 — Sarah M (@ForumsMeghan) October 12, 2018 "Princess Meghan and Princess Anne chatting is giving me life!" one commenter said. "Love that Meghan and Anne chat with each other’s," another wrote. Princess Eugenie is the first cousin of Meghan's husband, Prince Harry, and Princess Anne is the bride's aunt. Princess Eugenie's father, Prince Andrew, is the second son of Queen Elizabeth II. Meghan has just only been an official member of the British royal family herself for about five months. She married Prince Harry back in May, but it appears the royals are fully embracing the American-born Duchess of Sussex. It's been widely reported that Meghan has a great relationship with Princess Anne's mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Max Mumby/Indigo Getty Images Robert Lacey, a historical consultant for The Crown spoke with People in August about Meghan's relationship with Her Majesty and her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. “What’s characterized these months are the two great relationships that she has struck up with the Queen and with Catherine,” Lacey said. “They seem to be her closest friends and partners in the official set-up.” Perhaps we can now add Princess Anne to that list.
