One last rehearsal ahead of this year’s Royal @EdinburghTattoo!At Redford Barracks in Edinburgh, The Princess Royal watched some of the spectacular artistic performances by international military bands ahead of this year’s event, which will begin tomorrow.August 3, 2023
The Princess has had an extremely busy schedule over the last few months but Princess Anne is set for a well-deserved break after a packed summer schedule. It has been revealed that for the majority of August, the Princess Royal is not scheduled to have any major royal appearances or engagements.
This is great timing for the royal as Princess Anne’s 73rd birthday is on August 15, and typically she likes to enjoy a bit of time out of the royal spotlight around her special celebratory day.
