King Charles begins his summer break by planting a royal rose at Scotland’s Castle of Mey, a tradition he has followed for the first week of August each year, according to coverage from the London Evening Standard. The report says the King spends that period at the Castle of Mey in Caithness. Other provided sources (Yahoo! UK News and the Belfast Telegraph) carry the same story title but do not include additional summary details in the material provided here. Taken together, the sources indicate that the King’s early August schedule includes a visit to Castle of Mey and participation in the rose-planting ceremony as part of the longstanding summer routine. No further specifics about the location details beyond Caithness, the wider program during the break, or reactions from officials are included in the provided excerpts. The information therefore centers on the start of the summer break, the setting of Castle of Mey, and the act of planting the royal rose as an annual tradition.
