King Charles Poses in Kilt to Mark the Scottish Burns Night Celebration: Photo ArticlePure

A new photo of King Charles has been released ahead of Burns Night.

The King, 76, is seen sporting a kilt in the official image, which was released by Buckingham Palace on Saturday, Jan. 25, to mark the annual Scottish celebration that honors the birthday and life of Scottish poet Robert Burns.

In the photo, King Charles wears a waistcoat and a suit jacket paired with a kilt made of King Charles III tartan.

He can be seen standing in the library of the Royal Family’s Scottish holiday home of Balmoral in Aberdeenshire. 

The new image was shot last fall by beloved royal photographer Millie Pilkington, whom Charles and Queen Camilla have used in the past, as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton.

King Charles recently hosted his first official royal event of the year while continuing his cancer treatment during a Holocaust memorial and education event on Jan. 13.

The King met with three organizations committed to educating the next generation about the Holocaust at the event, which was held at Buckingham Palace in London to commemorate the upcoming Holocaust Memorial Day.

On Monday, Jan. 27, King Charles will head to Poland on Holocaust Memorial Day to visit the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp for the 80th anniversary of its liberation.

There, he will meet with the President of the Republic of Poland, Mr. Andrzej Duda, along with other world leaders.
