King Charles Welcomes Summer at Balmoral | Belfast News

King Charles kicked off his summer break with a grand arrival at Balmoral, greeted by a guard of honor and inspecting troops as Colonel in Chief — including a sweet moment patting Corporal Cruachan the Fourth, the regiment’s Shetland pony mascot. Musicians from the Royal Regiment of Scotland played pipes and drums, while new soldiers in Balaklava Company, who’ve been on royal guard since July, proudly hosted their first meeting with the King.

The company will continue guarding until October, and after the ceremony, the King mingled with eager public onlookers, blending tradition with warmth as the royal family begins its annual retreat.
