King Charles attends first Highland Games as monarch

Britain's King Charles III on Saturday attended his first annual Highland Games in Braemar as monarch. The Braemar Gathering, near the British sovereign's remote Balmoral retreat in northeast Scotland, is always held on the first Saturday in September and it’s the most famous on the Highland Games circuit.

Senior royals, including Kings and Queens, have attended the games regularly since the mid-19th century, to watch feats of strength and endurance. Events include tossing the caber, in which kilted competitors endeavour to lift and throw a full-length log of Scots Pine.
