confirmed that they had used the Princess Royal's extended history of outfits as inspiration for their latest collection. Royally Obsessed podcast hosts Rachel Bowie and Roberta Fiorito

discussed the new unexpected "style icon". Ms Bowie told listeners: "My high this week has been the revelation that Princess Anne is a muse for the Serafini fashion house.

40 years ago. She had also been spotted wearing the coat multiple times since.
