Sweden's Queen Silvia Pulls a Princess Anne in 49-Year-Old Evening Gown—And Gives a Drag Queen a Major Shock

Queen Silvia wearing a yellow gown and tiara.

Just when you thought Princess Anne was the queen of the royal re-wear, this Swedish royal gave the Princess Royal a run for her money.

But on Saturday, May 31, she made one performer do a double-take in a nearly 50-year-old evening dress.
