Im not sure what we are supposed to be noting. Her outfit? Smart. Her condition? Looks healthy. Her 44th time doing something? Good for her as Im sure everyday can be tedious as our own work is to us.   Wearing her purse at the podium? To me, strange but what do I know as I don't not attend such events to know what's normal.

She is someone I identify with.  And that's the kind of woman I admire and tried to be because she is smart, independent, no-nonsense, doesn't follow fashion but is always appropriately dressed, doesn't take a back seat a the table but is polite and is who she is.. And she works. 

 

And there is a little "Don't mess with Anne" about her and I admire that.

I do like her outfit, but of greater importance to me is her commitment to visiting the sick.

Maybe everyone wouldn't want that, but for others it means a lot and brightens their day when people visit during an illness.

I've always liked her.  She's a "do the right thing" person.  Like her Mother.  Nothing ever very scandalous about her.  Devoted to her country and position.

I like her casual style.

I like she has no problem that her kids have chosen a path outside the royal family and she still talks to them.

I have always loved Princess Anne. Her behavior/mannerisms and style of dress have always been top notch. I wish she would update her hairdo, but guess that is just her signature style!

What a wonderful thing to do.  I am sure the patients and staff welcome her.  She looks very nice, she has inspired me to wear a red blazer today!!
