King Charles III commemorates Burns Night with a new image showcasing him in a traditional Scottish kilt, a symbol of his commitment to Scottish culture and heritage.
King Charles III celebrated Burns Night with the release of a new image showcasing him in a traditional Scottish kilt. The photograph, released by Buckingham Palace on Saturday, captures the King in a beige jacket and waistcoat, paired with his kilt and a traditional brown sporran. He exudes a warm smile as he rests his hand on a stack of books. Completing his attire is a colorful tie, handkerchief, and a purple flower pinned to his jacket lapel.
His kilt features a striking green, red, and blue striped pattern, representing the newly designed King Charles III tartan. This unique tartan, created by the Scottish Tartans Authority in 2023 for Charles' coronation, symbolizes the King's dedication to preserving the cultural heritage and traditions of Highland dress and Scottish tartans. \ The image was captured last autumn in the library of Balmoral Castle, a cherished Scottish residence passed down through generations of royals after Prince Albert purchased it for Queen Victoria in 1852. Balmoral holds special significance for the King, as he spent countless hours at the estate in 2022 following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II there and continued to visit in 2024 following his diagnosis with cancer. \Burns Night, celebrated annually on January 25th, commemorates the life and works of Robert Burns, Scotland's beloved national poet. Traditionally, the celebrations involve enjoying quintessential Scottish dishes like haggis and reciting Burns' renowned poems. King Charles has consistently expressed his affection for Scotland, often spending summers at Balmoral with his family and frequently sporting kilts during his visits. He sent a heartfelt message of congratulations to the people of Glasgow in early January, recognizing the city's rich culture and enduring resilience on its 850th anniversary
