Princess Anne makes elegant entrance as she joins King Charles on tour

Princess Anne has arrived in Scotland to support her brother King Charles.

On the evening of Tuesday, July 1, the Princess Royal looked gracefully stunning as she stepped out on the stairs of Holyroodhouse Palace in Edinburgh alongside the King and Queen as the royal family kicked off their annual Garden Party as part of Royal Week.

Meant to celebrate Scotland’s culture and achievements, this year’s tour runs from July 1 through July 4.

Anne’s appearance in Edinburgh follows her visit to the Royal Highland Show last month.

For the famed Garden Party, Anne stepped out in a striking royal blue jacket, layered over a floral-print dress. She paired the look with a wide-brimmed fascinator, dark blue gloves, a triple-strand pearl necklace, and a navy handbag.

King Charles and Queen Camilla also greeted guests at the palace, with the monarch donning a traditional black tailcoat and top hat, accessorised with a yellow waistcoat.

The evening festivities followed the King’s participation in the historic Ceremony of the Keys, where he symbolically received — and immediately returned — the Keys to the City of Edinburgh.

Earlier, Queen Camilla also carried out her own engagement, opening the newly rebuilt Ratho Library and launching the Edinburgh International Book Festival’s “Paper Trails” initiative, a five-year literary outreach program.
