Princess Anne turned heads in a striking crimson coat as she stepped out for a meaningful visit to Cheltenham.
The 74-year-old royal was at the Gloucestershire Airport Training Facility in Staverton, where she met with the team behind Wings for Warriors, a charity dedicated to training wounded and sick servicemen and veterans as professional pilots.
Anne’s choice of attire was both stylish and practical, featuring the same vibrant coat she wore during last month’s Christmas Day service at Sandringham.
She accessorized with a gold brooch, a dark midi skirt, black leather gloves, and a petite black handbag, completing her elegant look.
A Warm Welcome and a Special Gift
Throughout her visit, Princess Anne was all smiles as she mingled with guests and learned more about the charity’s inspiring work.
She even received a special token of appreciation—wings worn by test pilot Nathan Gray during the first-ever landing of an F-35 plane on HMS Queen Elizabeth.
The Princess Royal expressed admiration for the organization’s mission, which focuses on helping veterans rebuild their lives through skill-building and confidence-boosting opportunities.
The Work of Wings for Warriors
Wings for Warriors is not just about teaching aviation skills.
According to the charity, their mission is to provide long-term solutions for servicemen and women facing the challenges of life outside the military, particularly those with life-changing injuries.
“We rebuild confidence, capabilities, and pride,” the organization shared, “helping veterans continue providing for their families and achieving fulfilling futures.”
Last year, the charity announced plans to open a new flight training school in Gloucestershire, furthering its mission to support veterans.
Anne’s Busy Schedule Despite Challenges
Princess Anne’s dedication to her royal duties remains unwavering.
Despite facing personal health challenges in 2024, including a head injury believed to have been caused by a horse, the Princess has shown remarkable resilience.
The accident, which occurred at her Gatcombe Park estate last June, resulted in minor head wounds and a concussion.
Anne spent time in the hospital under observation but made a swift recovery.
Just three weeks later, she returned to work with a visit to the Riding for the Disabled Association National Championships.
Looking Ahead
With a packed diary and her steadfast commitment to supporting charitable causes, Princess Anne shows no signs of slowing down.
As King Charles continues to battle health issues, Anne has taken on an even more prominent role within the royal family, cementing her reputation as one of the hardest-working royals.
Her visit to Wings for Warriors is another testament to her dedication to uplifting others and championing causes that truly make a difference.
