Prince Charles will be found at another sporting event in Scotland on the penultimate day of the Commonwealth Games.
He will be attending the Mey Highland Games in Caithness to keep up the memory of his late grandmother, the Queen Mother.
In contrast to the sporting cauldron of Glasgow 2014, Prince Charles will be in a remote field on August 2 near John O’Groats where he is expected to umpire a tug-of-war competition.
He will also watch other strongman events such as tossing the caber and putting the shot.
Despite the Commonwealth Games coinciding with the Royal British Legion Mey Games, Prince Charles chose the traditional event north of the border. He did the same in the year of the London Olympics which also coincided with the Highland event.
While Glasgow will see the final of the women’s 5,000m and pole vault, the finals of men’s javelin, 1,500m and triple jump, plus the star-studded men’s and women’s 100m and 400m relays, Prince Charles will be far away watching Highland dancing and piping displays.
Prince Charles and wife Camilla will be attending the opening by the Queen of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Wednesday and will tour the Emirates Arena and meet athletes, volunteers and officials the same day.
The Mey games are near the Castle of Mey, the late Queen Mother’s Scottish home.
Known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland, the prince – who holds the title of Chieftain for the games – is expected with Camilla to spend most of the summer at their Scottish retreat of Birkhall.
Prince Charles makes an annual pilgrimage to Castle of Mey, since the death in 2002 of his grandmother.
