Princess Anne revives rarely-seen accessory from engagement photos with first husband Mark Phillips

Princess Anne attended the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey with a green ensemble and a glittering brooch that dates back to her 1973 engagement photos.
The brooch worn by Anne is believed to have been a birthday present from her parents or grandmother and first appeared in 1969.
She paired the brooch with a candy pink fitted blazer and tartan-pleated skirt for the engagement photos in the 1970s, then wore it again in Commonwealth Day styling.
Fashion expert Constance Richardson described the green color as evoking balance, freshness, and growth.
Anne’s Commonwealth Day look included a bow-adorned pillbox hat and black heels, with a longline jacket and Mandarin collar.
The event followed a rugby outing where Anne wore a navy duffel coat, tartan scarf, and her circular silver brooch as per her working royal duties.
The brooch is a recurring accessory in Anne’s wardrobe across multiple official appearances.
The piece continues to be linked to family and royal milestone celebrations.
The HELLO! article frames the brooch as a long-standing symbol in Princess Anne's public appearances.
