Princess Anne is credited as being one of the first royals to ever wear a mini skirt in the 60s and 70s. A royal expert has revealed how the Queen Mother was dismayed by the fashion, calling it “ugly”.
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, wrote about young Anne’s fashion in the Daily Mail.
The royal expert claims Anne “enjoyed dressing daringly, choosing to wear very short skirts, much to the chagrin of her Grand Mother.”
According to the royal biographer, the Queen Mother hated miniskirts as she believed knees were “so ugly”.
Many royal women these days will steer away from the mini skirt.

The Mail Online reported the Queen had helped Kate with a makeover ahead of her tour to Australia.
Part of the make-over included embracing longer skirts, moving away from “girlish frocks”.
