The Princess Royal was pictured at Sandown Park Racecourse today looking cool in a pair of sporty sunglasses that she borrowed from her daughter Zara Phillips . The Queen 's granddaughter , 33 , was given the Adidas shades as part of her Team GB kit when she represented her country in the equestrian at the London 2012 Olympics . The sunglasses were certainly lucky for the mother-of-one who won a silver medal in the team event .

Like mother , like daughter : The royal profiles look at same as they pose in the sporty shades . So that 's perhaps why Princess Anne chose to wear the sunglasses today in the hope they would be a lucky charm for her at the races in Esher . The 64-year-old grandmother , who is 11th in line to the throne , looked happy and relaxed as she watched the horses compete . But while the sun shone causing her to don Zara 's sporty shades , temperatures remained cool so she stayed wrapped up in a beige double breasted coat , polo neck jumper and red scarf . Anne looked happy as she watched the races - perhaps the shades were a lucky charm . And just like her mother the Queen who is rarely keen on a public engagement without wearing hat , the princess wore a brown hat with tartan trim . Anne , wearing pearl stud earrings , was pictured in the parade ring during the Grand Military Gold Cup Day at Sandown Park . The event dates back to 1841 and has always been a firm favourite with the British monarchy . One of the races held today is named in memory of the Queen Mother who was an avid fan of the sport . The royal chats to attendees in the parade ring during the Grand Military Gold Cup Day . Despite the sun shining , she still wrapped up in a double breasted coat , hat and red scarf . Earlier this week , the Princess Royal opened a new £2.3m youth arts centre in Jersey . The St James Centre was built in a converted church in St Helier and will include a performance space , studios , rehearsal rooms and a radio station . Meanwhile , Zara is busy training for the 2016 Rio Olympics with the hope of winning more medals - and perhaps more kit which she can share with her supportive mother .
