Eagle-eyed royal fans spot Princess Anne as she goes undercover
The Princess Royal was spotted taking part in an event.
Princess Anne was spotted by royal fans yesterday after she took part in the Edinburgh Riding of the Marches. The Princess Royal joined over 200 horses and riders up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Sunday as part of the event.
The event, known as "Riding the Marches" or "Common Riding", aims to re-enact a tradition that is believed to date back to at least the 16th century when mounted representatives of Scotland's cities and towns conducted annual inspections of their borders. The princess was all smiles at the event, which was watched by hundreds, if not thousands, of spectators.
The aim of the event continues to be to celebrate civic pride, heritage and horsemanship.
