During a trip to Singapore to visit the Airbus Asia Training Centre and Rolls-Royce Seletar campus, Princess Anne shockingly
wore a beige short-sleeve suit that she originally wore to a polo match at Windsor Great Park in 1973.

Social media users raved over Princess Anne's frugal approach to fashion. "Queen of recycling 1973/2025," one person wrote on X. "Wow! I'm more impressed that she fits into the same suit 50 years later!" a second added. "An intelligent woman, even if she's a princess, knows how to manage her wardrobe. Her clothes are of excellent quality and wearing them only a few times over the years has kept them looking new. Furthermore, the princess' style has always been cutting edge!" a third chimed in.

It's not the first time Princess Anne has been praised for her practicality. In a documentary ranking the richest royals, the 75-year-old came in fifth among her relatives due to her "notoriously
thrifty" tendencies.

Not only is Princess Anne reportedly conservative with her spending, she's also highly dedicated to her role within The Firm. "Princess Anne is the best value for money the royal family has. She works more than any other working member of the royal family and she's completely frugal. I don't think she's been on a shopping trip for decades," royal expert Charlotte Griffiths said in the film of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's only daughter.
