Prince Charles made it a family affair as he stepped out to celebrate the spirit of the Scottish Highlands!

Queen Elizabeth's eldest son and heir, 73, made an appearance on Saturday at the Braemar Royal Highland Gathering, a special exhibition of the Scottish heritage and their traditional games that takes place each year, with his sister, Princess Anne.

For the daytime outing, Prince Charles wore a green tartan kilt, which he accessorized with red knee-high socks and black shoes. Princess Anne, 72, meanwhile, wore a dark green coat adorned with red embellishments, as well as a bright red hat.

Prince Charles was joined by wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, while Princess Anne was accompanied by her husband, Timothy Laurence.

During the Braemar Royal Highland Gathering, Prince Charles officially opened The Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee Archway in honor of his mother's historic 70 years on the throne. The event is held not far from Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where the Queen, 96, traditionally spends the summer months.

Although Queen Elizabeth has been largely out of the public eye in recent months, she will soon welcome a new prime minister. For the first time, the Queen is set to appoint the new prime minister in Scotland.

A source explained that the decision was made for the audiences to take place at Balmoral to provide certainty for the new prime minister and outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson's schedules.

The Queen has been experiencing episodic mobility issues, and they wanted to avoid the issue of alternative arrangements at the last minute had the plan been for the monarch to travel to London or Windsor Castle.
