If there is one Olympic sport that Britain’s Princess Anne isn’t going to miss, it’s the Equestrian event. She was there as a member of the International Olympic Committee and also to support the British team as they competed in Beijing.

Princess Anne, a member of the International Olympic Committee,  is one of the royals in Beijing for the start of the Olympic Games. She met with Chinese President Hu Jintao and his wife Liu Yongqing, along with about 80 world leaders, at a welcome banquet at the Great Hall of People on August 8, 2008.

Much is being made of the dress that Princess Anne wore to last weekend’s wedding between Lady Rose Windsor and George Gilman. The white and yellow print dress was the same one that the Princess Royal wore to the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, 27 years ago! She even wore the same yellow hat.
