The Princess Royal toured both South Korea and Thailand last week
The Princess Royal turned heads during her official visit to Thailand, stepping out in an elegant navy gown that features a familiar name.
Attending a gala performance at the Thai National Theatre in Bangkok alongside her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, Princess Anne chose a high-street design.
The garment in question is the "Meghan Dress" by the British brand Hobbs, sold via John Lewis & Partners, sharing a moniker with the Duchess of Sussex.
The choice of attire highlights the Princess Royal's celebrated knack for blending formal elegance with accessible high-street fashion.
The Meghan Tiered Broderie Detail Dress is currently featured in the retailer’s summer sale for £119, down from its original price of £189.
It is described by the brand as a versatile piece suitable for both occasion wear and off-duty diaries.
Featuring a rich true navy hue, the midi-length dress boasts a tiered hem, delicate broderie cutwork, scallop trims, a wrap-around tie waist, and practical side pockets.
Princess Anne paired the look with a matching sheer navy wrap draped over her shoulders, a classic multi-strand pearl necklace, coordinating earrings, and low-heeled navy pumps.
Royal fans commented on the Princess Royal's dress on social media, with one admirer noting: "Hanging like that I would have walked past it without a second glance, but Princess Anne makes it look fabulous."
Another observer complimented the styling of the outfit, stating: "She looks lovely and the wrap is very nice too."
The positive feedback continued to pour in as fans dissected the details of the wardrobe choice.
Another commentator remarked: "What a lovely wear. It suits Princess Anne very well."
