King Charles was determined to attend a long-held royal tradition despite the hurdles in his way which came that day.
The monarch stepped out amid heavy downpour on Saturday for the Mey Highlands Games, which are held at the village of John O’Groats in far north of Scotland, in honour of his late grandmother, Elizabeth I.
Dressed in a traditional Scottish dressing, a kilt paired with tan suit jacket, buttoned up waistcoat and wore knee-high socks, the King arrived at the venue with an umbrella and later huddled in a tent to watch the show.
The event first began in 1970 to commemorate the birthday of the late Queen Mother, who loved the event so much that it was turned into an annual occasion.
During the event, Charles seemed in high-spirits as he took the time to wave and shake hands with the members of the public, via Express.co.uk.
The monarch makes it a point to always greet the locals during his visits and make an effort to learn about them, something that he loves doing.
The outing comes ahead of the King’s much-anticipated holidays in Balmoral next week.
