Anne was expected to visit HM Prison Grampian in Peterhead on Thursday (08.09.16) but postponed the trip.
The Princess Royal’s schedule has been jam-packed this summer having not long got back from Rio for the Olympic Games.
Anne jetted off to Rio to check out the team’s training grounds in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
