If this is Tuesday, it must be England #105


Seriously behind on getting my Tuesday posts organized - I had an annual schedule that needs some updating so I'm going to put this up here today - a photo and caption that caught my attention on Instagram.


The Duke of Rothesay today attended the Mey Highland and Cultural Games.

First held in the village of Mey for The Queen Mother’s 70th birthday, the Games celebrate the hospitality, culture and talents of the people of the North Highlands.

Who, might you ask, is the Duke of Rothesay?  Isn't this a photo of Prince Charles?  Yes, it is and he and the Duke are one and the same.  In fact, Prince Charles Philip Arthur George has a host of titles, some of which are his due to his position as heir apparent:

His Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, Prince of Wales, KG, KT, GCB, OM, AK, QSO, CC, PC, ADC, Earl of Chester, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland.
(thank you, Wikipedia!)
And that's your bit of trivia for today!
