Princess Anne surprises in pom poms for fun outing

On Saturday afternoon, Princess Anne attended the England versus Scotland International Rugby Match at Twickenham Stadium alongside her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence and her son-in-law Mike Tindall.

For the highly anticipated occasion, the Princess Royal looked cool yet casual, wrapping up in a navy jacket with sky-blue lining and a high-neck knit. Featuring an array of dark layered pieces, the outfit made for a snug antidote to a grey February afternoon.
