Princess Anne has been dubbed "Queen of Recycling" for her frugal fashion sense.

The outfit instantly caught attention of royal fans not only for its elegance but also for its familiarity

Princess Anne had first worn the outfit at the Royal Ascot race meeting in 1997, which sparked a frenzy of admiration on social media.
