King Charles tips his crown to local fundraisers

King Charles appeared in high spirits during a lively reception at Campbeltown Town Hall as part of his ongoing Holyrood Week engagements in Scotland.

Among the guests he met was Susan Campbell from the Marie Curie charity, who proudly wore a T-shirt featuring the organisation’s iconic yellow daffodil, a symbol of hope, new beginnings, and the arrival of spring. 

The King and Susan were seen sharing a warm exchange, highlighting Charles’s ongoing commitment to championing meaningful causes across the UK.

Marie Curie, one of the UK’s leading end of life charities, provides critical care and support for those living with terminal illnesses, including cancer, dementia, and heart disease. 

The charity’s work aligns closely with the King’s longstanding interest in healthcare and community based initiatives.

Charles was also spotted enjoying a tipple during his Scottish outing raising a glass in what looked like a well deserved toast. 

And who could blame him? It’s Holyrood Week after all, and the King is clearly embracing the warm hospitality and spirit of the Scottish people.

The monarch sampled a glass of 25-year-old Glen Scotia Single Malt whisky, one of the region’s prized local spirits. 

Ever the thoughtful taster, he gave the golden drink an appreciative sniff before taking a delicate sip clearly savoring the craftsmanship behind the aged Scotch.
