Like mother, like son, King Charles III honored Queen Elizabeth II's legacy in the Scottish countryside.
On Monday, King Charles III arrived at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where the monarch presided over a small ceremony outside the castle gates, according to a press release from Buckingham Palace. Charles' visit comes nearly a year after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who died at the Scottish estate in September 2022 at the age of 96.
During the ceremony, King Charles wore traditional Scottish garb and had a friendly equestrian exchange when a pony was brought to the outdoor event.
