Britain's Princess Anne and Belgium's Princess Claire attended the commemorations for the reopening of the Menin Gate

On July 7, 2025, Britain's Princess Anne and Belgium's Princess Claire attended the commemorations for the reopening of the Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres, Belgium, which honors more than 54,000 missing Commonwealth soldiers from the war. The monument had been closed since early 2023 for extensive restoration work. The Menin Gate is one of four memorials to the missing in Belgian Flanders, covering the area known as the Ypres Salient.

    How lovely to see them together! Princess Claire is British I believe. This is a must see for people visiting Belgium, their Last Post music daily at 8PM is really impressive.

    Lovely outfit on P.Claire. Jacket and dress both look good and so does the colour combinations. Anne's coat is also nice, especially the lapels.

    Despite her "Vintage" clothes, Princess Anne always looks stunning, it is her beautiful figure that never fails to catch my attention (and a tad of envy). Probably chalk it up to her riding, exercise and hard work. Gorgeous legs that she doesn't feel the need to hide under granny dresses. If she could just find it in herself to ditch the gloves.

      I don't mind the gloves, it is part of the royal tradition, but I wish she would cut her hair, it doesn't suit her anymore.

      I agree. I find this coat especially flattering. I wouldn't be surprised to learn it is 30 or 40 years old. She does have an enviable figure and nice legs. I couldn't agree more about the gloves. I understood the Queen wearing them because she was from a very different time and gloves were just as much a part of her iconic look as her handbag, but Anne is young enough that she can't use the same reason for wearing them. To me, it sends a message of "us" and "them".

    Apparently Pr. Anne cannot smile at Pr. Claire.

      No no, don’t make a negative judgement of a relationship based on a microsecond of an interaction in a photo. To me it looks like Anne is listening.

    Je n’affectionne pas les vêtements choisis par la princesse Claire.

    Je trouve qu’il n’y aucune harmonie entre ceux-ci.
    Je ne trouve que ces articles ne sont ni seyants, ni esthétiques.

    Néanmoins, elle est une charmante femme.

      La Princesse Claire ne doit pas avoir peur. Moi je trouve qu'elle est très jolie. Les tons beige et gris claire lui vont à merveille. Au moins elle porte une tenue qui est contemporaine et pas quelque chose qui a trainée dans une armoire pendant des années. J'aime particulièrement son sac enveloppe beige et sa jupe en dentelle.

  7. Elégantes toutes les deux, chacune dans son style mais ma préférence est pour la princesse Claire dans sa veste portée sur une robe ou une jupe aux motifs délicats ?!

    I like this colour on PAnne. Her hair needs some attention but I don’t hold any hope. This war memorial patronage is dear to me as my grandfather in WWI volunteered to repatriate fallen soldiers to commonwealth cemeteries, a difficult duty. But Anne never disappoints with her dedication and wearing her lipstick.

    They say people keep their hair and clothing style from their "prime time" in life.....

      Some are sticking in the old days, as if the world stood still. They don't change their hairstyle and prefer death hair instead of healthy hair. They keep on wearing their old clothes perfumed with moth balls, instead of buying a new coat or dress or two-pieces skirt and jacket according the fashion rules of today (and I don't mean the fashion that teenagers are wearing, but the classic fashion which is still available at specialized fashion houses and worn by classic aristocratic ladies). Believe me there is a big difference between old outfits even if they are not worn out and new classic pieces bought today. These new classics are not cheap but their style is recommended for ladies who prefer being dressed in chic and classic clothes which will stay in fashion for many years.
