Princess Anne has sparked fan frenzy on-line after a hilarious second was captured between her and Scotland rugby captain, Sione Tuipulotu. Whereas the Princess Royal is usually thought-about to be one of the vital formal royals, she does have a superb sense of humour, as she displayed on Saturday when presenting a trophy to Tuipulotu.

Simply earlier than presenting the trophy, Princess Anne joked with the Scottish rugby captain by mocking a second that occurred just some weeks earlier throughout the Calcutta Cup presentation on the Six Nations. This second, just a few weeks in the past now, noticed Tuipulotu lean in for a hug when gathering the Calcutta Cup.

The hug was rejected by Princess Anne, who at all times favours formality.

Nonetheless, when presenting a trophy to the captain over the weekend, Anne – who’s the proud patron of the Scotland crew – joked about getting into for a hug by holding out her arms to him as a joke.

This resulted within the pair laughing and smiling, with Anne as an alternative getting into for a traditional handshake and a pat on the again for the Scotland captain, whose crew will journey to Dublin subsequent week for his or her subsequent recreation.

The second between Anne and the captain was caught on video and shared on X, delighting royal followers.

One fan wrote: “Sensible second for each. She has an important sense of humour!”

Another person commented: “HRH The Princess Royal is implausible.”

One other fan wrote: “Can’t cease laughing at this! So humorous and actually uplifting.”
