I saw this series of pictures, and I just couldn't resist a good photo essay. How often do you get to see the Windsors having this much fun on an official engagement? The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall are attending the Mey Highland Games in Caithness, Scotland. Prince Charles is acting as the honorary Chieftain of the games, a role that his late grandmother, the Queen Mum, fulfilled for years.
And now ... on to the photo essay! Pictures are all from Getty Images (as the watermark shows), taken by Jeff J. Mitchell on August 9, 2008.
Camilla has a hair-raising moment at the games.Gusts of wind were a feature of the day at the games, and I'd wager that a windy accident (with a wayward kilt, perhaps?) provoked the following reactions from the Duchess, her husband, and the rest of the crowd near her...
Embarrassment...
Tears of laughter...
Giggling...
Laughing harder now...
Guffaws...
And, finally, a bright red face for the heir to the throne.Looks like the Highland Games were a blast! If all royal engagements were this much fun, surely every family member would have a full slate of activities. ;)
