Monarch laughs tears
Charles has a royal good time at Highland Games
The King is having the time of his life! King Charles visited the "Braemar Gathering" Highland Games in Scotland at the weekend with his wife Camilla. And the British monarch even had to laugh so much that he was in tears.

"A wonderful afternoon"
And Charles seemed to enjoy himself more than royally. Again and again, Charles had to laugh heartily, once so much that he had to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Photos of the event were later published on the Royal Family's official Instagram account. "A wonderful afternoon at the 'Braemar Gathering'," was the message from the palace.
Queen loved Highland Games
Charles probably also remembered his mother Queen Elizabeth, who died two years ago, that afternoon.
She was a regular visitor to the famous event, which takes place every year on the first weekend in September - sometimes even accompanied by her eldest son. And it is said that the Highland Games were always one of the Queen's favorite dates in the royal calendar ...
