This weekend, Charles III and Camilla attended one of Scotland's most traditional events: the Braemar Gathering Highland Games. These games, held every first Saturday of September, took place near Balmoral Castle, the summer residence of the British royal family. Although the one who truly stood out at this event was Queen Camilla, who appeared very close to the attendees.
The games, which have run in their current form since 1832, offered a day full of culture, sport, and tradition. Attendees were able to enjoy competitions such as caber tossing, tug-of-war, and other typical Highland Games events. There were also performances by bagpipe bands and traditional Scottish dances.
However, what truly marked this edition was not just the spectacle. The most talked-about moment was Camilla's gesture toward the event's attendees. The royal consort appeared very close to the public.
