Princess Anne takes brave step to represent King Charles at historic event

Princess Anne appeared in high spirits as she represented King Charles during a historic ceremony in Scotland, as the royal family prepared for the funeral of the Duchess of Kent and the Trump visit.

The monarch’s sister not only performed her duties but also returned to one of her passions/ She rode on horseback through Edinburgh on Sunday just one year after sustaining a major head injury at her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.

The royal was taking part in the city’s historic Riding of the Marches dates back to 1579, which began as a civic duty to ensure Edinburgh’s boundaries were secure against attack.

Over time, the practice transformed into a ceremonial occasion, but it has retained its role as one of Scotland’s most celebrated equestrian gatherings.

On Sunday, Anne was joined by a cavalcade of more than 200 horses after a 26-mile route before entering the city centre. She then rode alongside the parade to the Royal Mile to the Mercat Cross.

Anne, who is an accomplished rider and former Olympic equestrian, returned to riding horseback for the first time three months ago during Trooping the Colour. The Princess Royal, 74, riding horseback again is a great indicator to royal fans that she is doing quite well in terms of her health and recovery.
