"It was a home beloved of his grandmother
who would spend hours walking around her Highland estate.

And now King Charles is to add to the beauty of the Castle of Mey, in Caithness,
as he bids to attract tourists with a new maze.

"Buckingham Palace said
today's reception saw the King greet 400 guests, many of whom were previous shipmates and their partners with whom he had kept in touch over the last half century,
as well as fellow aviators drawn from 845 Naval Air Squadron and across the Fleet Air Arm.

There was also a contingent of from H.M.Y. Britannia and representatives from the King's patronages The White Ensign Association, The Royal Navy Club of 1765 and 1785, The Royal Naval Benevolent Trust and the Association of Royal Naval Officers.

An aide said the event was a 'personal request' from the King and was funded by him privately."

That was then...

“It will take a little while for the news to sink in," he said Friday. His wife, once known as Posh Spice, now becomes Lady Beckham.

LONDON — British soccer legend David Beckham, a sporting icon and one of the world's most recognizable faces, has received a knighthood from King Charles III for services to sport and charity, Buckingham Palace announced on Friday.

The award, the highest Britain's antiquated honors system can bestow, seems inevitable given Beckham's success as a player and his contribution to the country's culture. For years, Britons have wondered how he has not already been elevated to Sir David...

King Charles has ordered royals
to wear black armbands
in remembrance of those killed in the Air India plane crash
for Trooping the Colour on Saturday.

The monarch has requested a minute's silence in tribute to the 241 passengers and crew killed
when a Boeing 787 Dreamliner bound for Gatwick Airport came down on Thursday in the Indian city of Ahmedabad.

The King issued a written message soon after the plane crash saying
he was 'desperately shocked by the terrible events'
and expressed his 'deepest possible sympathy'."

"Trooping the Colour is a centuries-old tradition that marks the Sovereign's official birthday.

It dates back to the 17th century and is rooted in battlefield custom, when regimental flags, or 'colours,' were trooped in front of soldiers to ensure they could be recognised amid the smoke of combat.

Last week a full-dress rehearsal, known as The Colonel's Review, took place serving as the final run-through before the King's official celebration.

This year, the honour of trooping the Colour falls to the Coldstream Guards, who will officially present their regimental flag, known as the Colour, to King Charles."

www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com
King Charles III's monarchy will not get a pay raise this year, but the Sovereign Grant will go up by more than 45 million pounds or around $60 million in the 2026-2027 year, accounts showed.

As many of his fellow Britons cope with a cost-of-living crisis, the grant which is paid for by the public and used for royal spending and upkeep of royal assets, remained at around 86 million pounds ($110 million) for the 2024-2025 year, latest annual figures from the Crown Estate showed.
