"The Princess Royal received an unexpected standing ovation from rugby supporters in Rome after stadium cameras cut to the Princess Royal during a stoppage in Scotland’s Six Nations clash with Italy, a moment that quickly went viral on social media.

Footage circulating online shows the 75-year-old royal smiling politely in the stands as a roar of applause swept through the Stadio Olimpico during an injury break in the second half. According to spectators, Anne appeared unaware the cheers were directed at her until those seated nearby pointed it out.

The spontaneous tribute came during a rain-lashed contest that ended in a disappointing 18–15 defeat for Scotland – a result that deepened early fears of a difficult championship campaign for Gregor Townsend’s side."
