The caption on this photo was, "Princess Anne goes to the fair," but in fact Anne and her then-husband popped over to Ontario in late 1974 for the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair -- the largest such indoor event in the world. So while I love the idea of Anne grabbing the jet so she can go eat funnel cakes and swing a mallet to see if she can hit the bell -- I absolutely believe she could, by the way -- she was in fact working, and at something entirely different. The cloak is in the regimental colors of the [8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise's)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8th%5FCanadian%5FHussars%5F%28Princess%5FLouise%27s%29?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), of which she's Colonel in Chief currently, though I can't tell for sure when she was elevated to that honor. And even sadder, I couldn't seem to find what colors these might BE. Possibly black and gold? (IS PRINCESS ANNE A STEELERS FAN? WE MUST KNOW.) Her tiara is one she was lent often by her mother until she was given it permanently in 1972; you might recall Zara wearing it at her wedding. In all, Anne looks great. I know that's an Official Business cloak, but is it wrong that I also think it's kicky as hell? I like to imagine her wandering her closet, a bracing scotch in her hand, idly touching all of these and wishing it weren't a breach in protocol to pop this on for a trip to the stables. Then again, Anne, who would find out? *You're* the detective in the family, after all.
