- His Majesty King Charles III attends the 2023 Lonach Gathering and Highland Games at Bellabeg in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This was held on Saturday 26th August 2023 and marked the 200th anniversary of the Lonach Highland and Friendly Society.
His majesty King Charles III was greeted with cheers from the crowd and Piper James Cooper. He was welcomed to the Games by the Lord Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire Sandy Manson and members of the Lonach Highland and Friendly Society, including Patron Sir James Forbes and Secretary Lauren Johnston. His Majesty then watched the magnificent parade of the Lonach Highlanders as they arrived at the Games for their opening march, led by James Wilson-Mitchell on his bicycle and the Lonach Pipe Band, with Socks the Lonach horse bringing up the rear.
Afterwards His Majesty walked around the Games, meeting contestants in the events, starting one of the running races, and was introduced to Drum Major Neil Jamieson and Pipe Major Michael Laing of the Lonach Pipe Band, who led the morning march and parade. Afterwards His Majesty was introduced to members of the Grampian Games Committee of which Lonach is part and then members of the Lonach Highlanders and Society.
His Majesty was wearing a Balmoral tartan kilt and was presented with a cap by the Society patron Sir James Fobes of Newe.
I love every chance of seeing the Lonach Highlanders marching and the sound of the pipes and drums. I am so pleased His Majesty King Charles 3rd was able to attend. Constable Mitchell and Socks just are the icing on the cake!
Good King Cosy Socks
I don't know how he does it King Charles is so talkative and appears to make everyone happy and laughing and at ease and he looks to have a great sense of humour, a geat privilege for those that meet him.....but how could we forget Lt Col Johnny who always has a smile on his handsome face.
Yes..and yes..lots of us agree.. think he needs 2 make a trip to u.s. for any reason..😊😊😊😊
Absolutely agree.
Hes an excellent king
Good for you Scotland is so beautiful ❤❤
This was lovely. Everyone was happy to see him . I was happy to see Johnny. I came to your channel by accident. I decided to join. ♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸
Thank you so much for this truly fantastic video! We can always rely on Braemar Media for coverage of Highland events. The footage of the King's Equerry was outstanding, especially as he's a Lonach Highlander! 🇬🇧🏴🥰💙
He's a great King. And a King for our time. He preserves history while embracing the future. Great man.
Thank you your majesty for visiting the 2023 Lonach Gathering & Highland Games.
His Majesty looks so happy there. He is so comfortable talking with people. I like him. And his delightful equerry.
His delightful equentry is a very special man!
this is beautiful traditional of UK. Love this! Long Live King Charles!
It's a tradition of Scotland, not of the UK. (The UK consists of 4 countries: Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
This is a local Highland Gathering taking place in Lonach in the northeast of Scotland. There are many Highland Gatherings across Scotland taking place throughout the summer.
The bagpipes, the kilts, the sporrans, the headgear (blue bonnets or bonnets with chequered bands, feathers or sprigs of heather) and the weapons (the design of the pikes and the basket hilts on the swords) are all Scottish designs dating back centuries, most to even long before the UK was formed.
Pipe bands of the Scottish regiments are involved in UK celebrations like royal jubilees, funerals or coronations. But you will not see anything like these gatherings in the other parts of the UK.
@@alicemilne1444 We are all part of the same struggle! Why put us against each other? It's a kind comment you'd expect from Yousaf
@@alicemilne1444 Let's remember its the leaders failing us "all round" But doesn't mean us everyday folk have to go at each other, many of us have ancestoral ties! I do to Scotland & Ireland! But I respect you all parts of Uk! I believe we all deserve better.
Sure it isn't primitive - you know Britain is getter poorer right?
@@uniquevideosUk What struggle?! The person who posted the comment is obviously not from the UK. I had a look at their channel, the descriptions are written by someone whose native language is not English. They post "royal news" from around the world.
There was nothing political in my comment. If someone had posted something about Morris dancing and said it was a UK tradition, I would have said, no it's an English tradition, because it is. Facts are facts.
I'm impressed with how relaxed King Charles is and he seems to put everyone else at their ease :)
Funny like his Father was and well informed like the Queen! Just like a leading King, right?
The Royal Family are always relaxed in Scotland; it's their holiday home of choice.
You'd be at ease too if you were a billionaire with everything in your life paid for by taxpayers.
@@peggygraham6129
Not everything.
It looks so colourful, love the bagpipes❤
Well he looks a lot happier since taking the top job!
You can tell Charles is part Scottish you can tell how much he loves all things scottish.
He loves meeting people too, and hes very good at making people feel happy and uplifted.
Just look at the interactions with everyone and see.
Su amada abuela era escocesa seguramente estas celebraciones le traen recuerdos de ella
@@mariaalejandrabarcala3866 His grandmother wasn't Scottish. She came from an ancient line of Scottish nobility but she and her immediate ancestors back to the 1700s were all born and raised in England and married English people. They had ancestral estates in Scotland but hardly spent any time there, basically just holidays. Their lives were centred on London.
Charles, on the other hand, spent 6 years in Scotland at school, which is why he has a completely different attitude.
@@alicemilne1444 gracias por la información. Hasta ahora siempre creí que la reina madre había nacido en el castillo de Glamis. I was mistaken
The UK royal family are from German Ancestry & his fathers Ancestry from a different country
@@mariaalejandrabarcala3866You were correct.
How can you not adore Scottish men?
The camera person filming must be female...trying to get shots of Lt. Col. Johnny whenever possible!😊
And why not ? He is so easy on the eyes and gorgeous in his full regalia! 🥰 The late Queen knew what she was about when she chose him.Glad His Majesty thinks so too! 😉
He is Scottish people there are happy to see one of their own.
@@andreaguidebeck2305oh that's me undone if he has a Scottish accent, too! Who can blame the camera person, I think they were very restrained! 😂
Major Johnny es un hombre muy buen mozo, por qué nos quieren privar de ese regalo para la vista. Regards from Argentina 🇦🇷
He comes from Northumberland and has a regular RP accent. Sorry ladies!😂
2:04 The Policeman on his bike was the best bit.
What a lovely job he has getting to go to all these wonderful occasions. Hope he enjoyed it. 🎉😊
Lovely to see and think of them there, there is something soothing and sturdying in Scotland you cannot find anywhere else, love the Scottish people, salt of the Earth. I miss it so much.
I would curtesy to the brilliant Johnny
Thank you so much for this 👏👏👏👍💗💕🇦🇺💗💕🇦🇺
I love when King Charles III wear his kilt!
And Major Thomson, taking care of the King.... Great video.
He is Lt. Col. Thompson now please.
@@penelopeverstege4475 WOW a born defender of British military and royal positions! FOOL
@@jamielyallleathan No, a defender of British military handsomeness and sexiness; that's all there is to it, my friend. He is *Lt. Col. Adonis*!!!

Excellent his Majesty, you certainly think we'll.
Wonderful outfit.
Dandy King Charles. 👑😍
This is the young man who was born into these times for a purpose. Kind King Charles. Thank you all for sharing. JulieKilburn USA
These gatherings are always so informal and with Jonny being a Lt Colonel in the RRoS he must feel very much at home.
Let’s see more of his equiry
Soooo proud ❤❤❤❤❤
Lots of love from South Africa
God save the king
The formal attire of Scotland is the smartest of any country.
There’s something so sexy about a Scottish man wearing his Kilt . Obviously the British army has embraced wearing traditional Scottish dress too ie the kilt & the Bagpipes .
Love Scotland. Love kilts. Love the dignity of the people.
Lt. Col. Johnny, yummy as usual.
That young man in the white jumper and red kilt in the welcome committee. Hmmm.
Control yourself
Hey! Let' s keep this sacred. This isn't the Chippendales you know!
Jumper?
Corporal Thompson is a mere factotum, a royal ass cleaner.
The young man in the jumper is very handsome and sexy.
God save the king ,his majesties face is not on our currency. GOD SAVE THE KING:KING CHARLES!!!
long live the king.
King Charles loves Scotland
@Fernandwinniehis mother was Scottish 🙄
Long live, long live, long live, King Charles Ill, huge support, excellent moment, sublime parades, congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👏👍😘👑🇬🇧❤️🙏🦋🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Speaking as an Englishman, this is Scotland, with its great traditions, a valued member of The "Not So" United Kingdom. Enjoy it while you can as you will miss all this when we are compelled to face Mecca. GOD SAVE THE KING 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love the United Kingdom, King Charles and the Scots and their lovely fierce and strong heritage. May the King and all those traditions live forever.
Scotlands Army ! On ye go lads !!
I see the ole’ Campbell tartan there in prominence.
Proud of my Irish heritage. Clan Macpherson
You obviously don't know your Irish from your British
So is their a Scottish connection?
Meraviglioso Re Carlo 🤴🏼è molto dolce e cordiale con tutti non fa distinzioni……complimenti R.C.
His voice is distinct, only he has it,his inheritance, like Rees mogg

This was so nice. I’m a Glaswegian emigrated to Canada. Could someone please tell me why the gentleman is wearing a Feather in his hat? Oh there’s some others with Feathers. Thank you. ❤️🏴🇨🇦👏🏻
A single eagle feather is usually worn by the Laird of the clan.
Soweit i h es mitbekommen habe, gehören die Federträger wohl zu den Langbogenschützen. Ist das korrekt?😊
Yes,that is one georgeous hunk of man. i love kilts,anything scottish...highland games.
.i loved plaids as a kid.didnt know my grma was scottish,and irish....had skirts,umbrella, plaids..winter coat,plaid, ...
In 2018. Did my geneology..yr later,dna..amazed.. true crime buff..she had b.n white true detective mags in her bureau drawers.. genetics does tell..proud 2 say...
I can see KCIII is enjoying not wearing trousers🤣
Respect edinborough
😍😍😍😍
At about 6.00 the man with King Charles had feathers does anyone know what bird they came from? They looked amazing!!!
Are they pheasant feathers?
@@kathycuster1714 thanks Kathy just checked and you’re right
Suspect they looked better on the bird
Wasn’t there a live supposed ti start at 330 pm my time? Have you cancelled it Northy? Or was it at the higher level?

Happy anniversary from Pennsylvania USA. Love the modern luxury chariot the King uses too. A Rolls I take it?

❤ Braemar media
Missing Queen Elizabeth. 😢
No way. Charlie has a humanity and compassion that old Lizzy never had. She was a pompous arrogant self centred selfish snooty Royal.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮Good riddance.
At least he injects a bit of class about the place ehh?!!
Extra class you mean.
What songs being played at 2.50?
10th Battalion H.L.I. Crossing The Rhine
Ahh, a Scottish summer at its best.
You bet!!!! 😊
And not a drop of whisky in sight?😢🏴
What is the Tartan His Majesty is wearing?
Irish tartan ...
The Berlin tartan?
Isn't it Balmoral tartan?
It's a new tartan created just for him: the King Charles III tartan. It's a variant on the Balmoral tartan.
Fuimus! 🇺🇸⚔️🇬🇪
God bless His Royal Highness, King Charles! This Yank wishes King Charles and Queen Camilla long lives and good health.

HOW SAD YOU ARE
@@adrianricketts8884
Why are you here? 😈
@@Ker-mk3bfI think there is a sad group of men who gather to whinge, I guess it is their right to have free speech, a pity they don’t use their time for good😂
where is the rest of the family
They are all on their annual holiday and doing their own thing. This was not an 'official State visit'.
@@jillosler9353 there is no such thing as a state visit in the Kings own realms
Who is the tall man left side of the tent with lots of medals ? Someone knows
I am astonished about that question. He is the well known equerry to HM The King, Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson, more casually known as "Major Eye Candy" (his former rank, before being promoted to Lt.Col.) 😁
He's not Scottish either he's from North England .
" Major Eye Candy," ❤ great one
@@Scotia6261 But serves in an important Scottish Regiment.
@@dorisschneider-coutandin9965 Not much scottish about that regiment and hardly a heylander amongst them.
Why are some of the Kiltes guys stomping as the walk ?
It's baked marching to the beat
It's to keep the haggii away. When a haggis hears the pipes it burrows underground heading in the direction of the food tent to steal anything it can get it's claws into. A hungry haggis is a dangerous beastie.
😂
Real Scotland, not Sturgeon’s fantasy version from Strathclyde.
Camilla and the rest of the RF gave it a miss?
They will probably attend the Braemar gathering on Saturday 2nd September. They always attend that one.
They might not of got an invite 😉😂
@@richardcole9558 what’s with the ‘of’ instead of ‘have’ ..
@@maureendavidson4635 yes I was in Braemar tonight (Sept 1st) , and yes it’s crowded for the Braemar gathering, tomorrow. Thank you
Camilla, Anne, and Sir Timothy Lawrence were all there.

King Charles III? There is only one King. The King. No other qualification is required.
Indeed. "His Majesty the King" is all that needs to be announced.
Nonsense. Why? He's not even descended from either of them.@@irene3196
He’s the third King Charles. Hence III in his title 🙄
@@robertthomson1587he’s the third King Charles 🙄
@@Guitar-qv6gu in the uk, we refer to our sovereign as ‘the king’ or ‘the queen’. We all know which one it is.
Ah, William, were are you?
Not there… obviously
Stayed at home so as not to be criticized for not complying with traditions and wearing a kilt 😂
@@jamielyallleathanthe only wise move he’s ever made!
He’s sharing the school holidays with his wife and children!! Ffs! Give the guy a break! He will be going to Balmoral this week to see the King and other family members before the kids go back to school next week.
@@chriscunningham8703 that’s not true! William is doing a great job and loved globally! Stop being so angry and bitter

My what memories..the Braemar games in 53/54 were very wet. I remember the day as no one was allowed to leave before her late Majesty.. Protocol..The gates were closed and we, the crowd, got very wet.
That was the day my father, until then a monarchist, gave it away as did many other Scots..👵🏴

Overall the Royals are an asset to the country, the alternative could be much worse, but could they not please do away with all the bowing, scraping and curtseying. It's horrendous
These niceties give us better sense of distinction of courtesies accorded to various dignitaries. When everything is brought down to one level courtesy and reverence will gradually lose their true significance.
Brainwashed and deluded vomit - has no bases on fact and they are only parasites who steal millions of pounds while children go hungry , elderly go cold and disabled people live in poverty
Couldn’t agree more, especially the curtsying so demeaning we do not live in the 18th century.
@@dorcaswalker1867 you sound a nice cheery person. Life ain’t too bad. Just get on with it.
@@carolynmcmillan7752people do it out of choice. If you don’t want to do it, don’t. They’re not putting a gun to peoples head and say curtesy or else. So if I want to bow my head or my wife wants to curtesy, what the hell has it got to do with you?
