King Charles puts Prince William to shame

King Charles and Queen Camilla continued their visit to Scotland on Thursday.

In a video released by the royal family, the king was seen wearing a kilt, a garment resembling a wrap-around knee-length skirt and something the monarch's son and his heir, Prince William, has refrained from donning until now.

The Prince of Wales is often criticized for not wearing the kilt despite holding many Scottish titles. 

According to BBC, the king kept out the cold with a dram of whisky when he visited a Scottish town famous for its distilleries.

With wind and rain making the summer visit to Campbeltown feel like autumn, Charles readily sipped an award-winning 25-year-old single malt by the Glen Scotia distillery.

The broadcaster reported that the King and Queen are in Scotland for Holyrood week, an annual tradition that sees that monarch spend a week in Scotland each July.

It said more than a thousand people lined the streets in Argyll and Bute to see the King tour the town.
