Princess Anne put on a stylish display in a crimson coat while visiting a charity in Cheltenham today.

Located at the Gloucestershire Airport training facility in Staverton, the organisation, Wings for Warriors, trains wounded, injured or ill servicemen and veterans as professional pilots.

The 74-year-old royal appeared to be wearing the same red jacket she sported while attending last month’s Christmas Day service at Sandringham when she made her appearance.

She added a large gold brooch to the neckline of her coat, which she paired with a dark-colored midi skirt.

The mother of Zara Tindall, 43, and Peter Phillips, 46, completed her ensemble with black leather gloves and a small black bag.

During the visit, the Princess Royal was seen smiling as she spoke to other guests at the event.

At one point, test pilot Nathan Gray presented him with the wings he used in the first landing of an F-35 aircraft on HMS Queen Elizabeth.

According to Wings for Warriors: ‘For many soldiers, life outside the military can seem challenging and uncertain at best. Add a life-changing injury to the equation and the future can quickly become a dark and depressing place.

‘Instead of a short-term project or challenge, we provide our wounded warriors with the skills they need to achieve an exciting, rewarding and sustainable future for many years to come.

“We rebuild confidence, capabilities and pride and help veterans continue to provide for their families far beyond the horizon.”

The charity announced last June that it would open a new flight training school in Gloucestershire at the end of 2024.

Announcing the news, Charity founder and chief executive Mark Radcliffe said at the time: ‘What we do is not just about flying.

“It’s about opening up the unique and privileged world we exist in as Airmen and using it to inspire inspiring men and women who need some luck to aim high and keep going.”

Despite having an extremely busy 2024, taking on more royal engagements amid King Charles’ cancer battle, Anne is unlikely to slow down any time soon as she has more engagements booked in her diary this week.

This despite suffering from her own health problems, after suffering a head injury last June which the royal said she “doesn’t remember anything about”.

The royal wore a red jacket for the outing, which she paired with a dark skirt, black gloves and a black bag.

Anne took some time off after the accident, which doctors believe was caused by her being hit by a horse.

Following the incident, she was taken to hospital on June 23 with minor head injuries and a concussion after walking around her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.

At the time, Buckingham Palace announced that the Princess Royal was being kept in hospital for observation following an incident.

Princess Anne appears to have fully recovered from the injury.

He returned to work just three weeks later, returning with a visit to the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Championships at Hartpury University and Hartpury College in July.
