Prince Charles risks exposing ‘crown jewels’ as he dons kilt in rambunctious Scottish Highlands | Royal | News

The Prince of Wales73, or the Duke of Rothesay as he is known while in Scotland, made the journey to Canisbay Church in Caithness – the most northerly parish church in mainland Scotland. He was seen chatting with some people at church, but in the heady Highlands known for strong gusts of wind, the prince probably had to be careful not to be too exposed.

Prince Charles also wore knee socks and a sporran to match his kilt, completing the traditional Scottish ensemble.

The Royal Family has its own Balmoral tartan, but it may only be worn with the Queen’s permission.

Balmoral’s tartan is gray and red, while Prince Charles’s kilt today was blue and green with faint red lines.

Before the church service, the royal was seen chatting with Reverend Janet Easton Berry and Reverend Lyall Rennie.

He was also caught planting a rowan on the grounds of the church.

After getting his hands dirty, he saw laughing and joking with writer and director Murray Watts and artist Monique Sliedre.

Fortunately for the Prince, wind conditions near the church were described as a “moderate breeze” by BBC weather today.

However, with gusts of up to 20 miles per hour, the Duke of Rothesay would definitely keep an eye on his kilt.

In the past, Caithness was affected by red weather warnings for wind during storms.
