Princess Anne's Timeless Coat at Nigerian State Banquet

0:00On March 19, Princess Anne made headlines at the state banquet for Nigeria's president by wearing a cream-colored coat from 57 years ago. The 75-year-old royal chose the floor-length piece for the event at Windsor Castle, honoring the first Nigerian state visit in nearly 40 years. She first wore the coat in June 1969 as an 18-year-old at a London movie premiere. Fans quickly spotted it, noting tweaks like a simpler collar and closed front, while the distinctive sleeve pattern stayed the same. Anne has long championed reusing outfits from turquoise dresses to lilac coats worn decades apart. Royal followers praised her timeless style, calling it smart and sustainable. Other royals dazzled too, with Princess Catherine in a flowing green gown and her favorite tiara while King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted in full. Splendor amid 160 guests, the king gave a warm speech, highlighting strong trade links, a half-million strong Nigerian community in the UK, and shared history as a path.
