Upon his arrival at Balmoral, King Charles III wasn't just any royal; he was a monarch with a mission! Clad in his King Charles III tartan kilt, complete with red hose and a stylish brown leather sporran, he wasn't there just to inspect the guard of honour from the Balaklava Company. No, Charles had a message to deliver, a message of hope, resilience, and unparalleled generosity.

A heartfelt tribute to global solidarity

In his message for World Humanitarian Day, King Charles didn't hold back his admiration for the British public's "remarkable generosity." The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) shared updates on their critical work worldwide, from Afghanistan to Ukraine, and the King was moved. Through a gallery of powerful images showcasing the DEC's work, Charles was reminded of the "themes of hope and resilience" that run deep in humanitarian efforts.

It wasn't just a day for reflection; it was a call to action. The King's words highlighted the dire need for continued support in the face of global challenges, including conflict, climate change, and natural disasters. His admiration for the courage of humanitarians and volunteers resonated deeply, reminding us all of the power of collective action.
