Dancers at Mey Highland Games in Caithness impressed the King during his visit on Saturday.
Charles attended the games in northern Scotland despite repeated spells of heavy rain forcing visitors to seek shelter.
He also took in the dance competition, watching participants with games’ officials from inside a tent to protect them from the inclement weather, and he was seen smiling at young entrants in their traditional garb.
Earlier this week, he battled midges at a vast expanse of peatland in Sutherland.
