Princess Anne has left fans in stitches after she shared a hilarious moment with a Scottish rugby player. The Princess Royal, Scottish Rugby Union, attended the Guinness Men’s Six Nations match between Scotland and France in Edinburgh today.
Anne presented the Auld Alliance Trophy to Scotland’s Sione Tuipulotu after they beat France 50-40.
