King Charles dressed in his namesake tartan in a new photograph shared by Buckingham Palace to mark tonight's Burns Night celebrations.
But in today's photograph, taken by Millie Pilkington, Charles wears a kilt made from King Charles III tartan - a green, red and navy fabric designed by The Scottish Tartans Authority in September 2023.
It is reminiscent of another photograph taken of King Charles for his 18th birthday in 1966, in which the then-Prince of Wales wore a kilt made from Balmoral tartan.
The monarch sports the King Charles III tartan kilt in the newly released photograph, which was taken last autumn in the library of Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
The tartan is intended for the use of King Charles only, and was designed 'in recognition of His Majesty's strong support in preserving the culture and traditions of Highland Dress and Scottish Tartans'.
