  "account": "King Charles and Queen Camilla joined enthusiastic crowds at the annual Braemar Gathering in Royal Deeside. The event, which takes place on the first Saturday of September each year, attracts spectators from all over the world and falls during the monarch's summer vacation at Balmoral. Attendees enjoyed a variety of traditional games including tug-of-war, caber tossing, hammer throwing, Highland dancing, and a procession of pipe bands during their visit. This is the fourth time King Charles has attended the Games since ascending to the throne. As customary while residing in Scotland, he wore his signature kilt - first showcased at Burns Night last year. The regalia is crafted from the King Charles III tartan, a design originating from the Balmoral tartan sett, believed to have originated around 1850. Queen Camilla also participated in tartan attire, complementing her ensemble with an emerald green jacket and feathered hat she wore to a Sunday service at Crathie Kirk last year. The Braemar Gathering has been held in its modern format for nearly two centuries. Queen Victoria made her presence felt in 1848, and since then, the reigning monarch has attended the event regularly.",
