LONDON: King Charles III appeared upbeat and energetic in new photographs released by the British royal family following his appearance at the Mey Highland Games in Scotland, as he continues treatment for cancer.
The royal family's official social media accounts shared images from the monarch's visit to the annual sporting event in Caithness over the weekend.
The games feature traditional Scottish competitions, including heavyweight events, Highland dancing, track contests, tug-of-war and junior athletics.
Charles has served as Chieftain of the Mey Highland Games since 2002, succeeding his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
The palace has not provided any new update on the king's medical condition since December 2025, when Charles said that early diagnosis and effective treatment had yielded positive results and that the intensity of his treatment was expected to be reduced in 2026.
The royal family is also celebrating the birth of a baby girl to Princess Eugenie, whose arrival was announced on Aug. 4.
