King Charles Enjoys a Royal Day Out at the May Highland Games

King Charles, aged 74, delighted spectators as he graced the May Highland Games in the charming village of John O’Groats last Saturday.

The monarch indulged in a touch of excitement during his visit to the traditional Scottish event on August 5.

Dressed in a classic kilt paired with a stylish green tweed jacket, a matching waistcoat, and striking red woolen stockings, Charles exuded elegance and regality.

Upon his arrival at the picturesque village of John O’Groats, radiated a sense of ease, taking the opportunity to greet attendees with handshakes and friendly waves.

Seated comfortably in the front row under the protective canopy, he added a touch of coolness by putting on his sunglasses and savoring a glass of whisky while observing the festivities unfold before him.

The day’s program included enthralling events such as the traditional caber toss and tug of war.

The inaugural May Games took place in the nearby village of May back in 1970, marking a celebration of the Queen Mother’s 70th birthday.

Recently bestowed with the prestigious sword, scepter, and crown known as the Honour of Scotland during a historic coronation ceremony, Charles had also graced last year’s Games, which held special significance as the first post-pandemic edition.
