The Princess Royal is back in the United Kingdom and has been in Edinburgh after a hectic two week trip to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics as a member of the International Olympic Committee.
Princess Anne was the guest of honour at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo on August 5th 2024. She was first met by Chief Executive Officer of the Tattoo, Jason Barrett, before she officially received the salute.
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is held outside of the historic Edinburgh Castle. The Castle stands on Castle Rock and looks down the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, with the Palace of Holyroodhouse bookmarking the other end.
The 2024 Tattoo has a theme of Journeys and is celebrating the men and women who have travelled on and protected the world’s seas and oceans.
The Princess Royal is Patron of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and has visited often, including meeting with participants and volunteers during rehearsals.
In addition to wearing a forest green suit and a light beige coat, Princess Anne also fittingly chose to wear a scarf in the Edinburgh tartan.
She was also joined by her husband, Sir Tim Laurence, who appropriately chose a pair of festive tartan trousers for the evening.
