King Charles and Queen Camilla were spotted smiling and laughing together yesterday as they attended the Braemar Royal Highland Gathering at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park. The annual event seems to be one of the King and Queen’s favourite outings in Scotland, featuring traditional events such as Highland dancing, pipe band competitions and band parades.
The King, wearing a tartan skirt, seemed to be in good spirits at the games, laughing with Queen Camilla and others sat around them. They were the only members of the Royal Family in attendance. Here The Daily Express has shared some of the best photographs of the day…

Queen Camilla then wore tartan kilt alongside an emerald green jacket and feathered hat.
