The pony, also known as Lance Corporal Cruachan IV is the Royal Regiment of Scotland's mascot, and formed part of the ceremonial welcome for the Queen to commence her summer holiday.The cheeky animal has previously tried to eat the monarch's flowers and nibbled at Prince Harry's fingers when he and Meghan Markle visited Edinburgh in 2018.

Plus, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie Wessex are likely to stay at some point as well.
