Princess Anne showed her softer side today as she returned to Scotland for the first time since leaving with her mother's body. The Princess Royal was at the Queen's bedside when she died at Balmoral last week and accompanied her coffin through Edinburgh and when the late monarch was flown back to London.
Princess Anne has gained a perhaps unfair reputation of being the stoic member of the Royal Family, having once admitted she was not "eveyrone's idea of a fairytale princess". But she is well-regarded as the hardest working royal, having carried out over 20,000 engagements - and was seen comforting grieving children and collecting flowers in Glasgow on Thursday afternoon.
