Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, visited Edinburgh on Wednesday morning to attend rehearsals for the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at Redford Barracks. During her visit, she met military personnel and international performers preparing for the annual event. She has served as patron of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo since 2006. Often described as the hardest-working member of the royal family, Princess Anne’s visit to Edinburgh came after a busy schedule. The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is held annually on the Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle and features performances by the British Armed Forces, military bands from the Commonwealth and other countries, as well as artistic groups.
