His green, red and blue kilt was made from King Charles III
tartan, a new variety of the cloth designed by the Scottish Tartans Authority
in 2023.
It was created in recognition of the King's passion for
preserving the culture and traditions of Highland dress and Scottish tartans
and marked his coronation.
"Wishing those celebrating a very happy #BurnsNight
tonight," said a message from the Royal Family's social media accounts
alongside the picture.
The photo, released on Saturday, was taken last autumn in
the library of Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire.
Burns Night celebrates the life of poet Robert Burns, widely
seen as the national poet of Scotland, and is held on the anniversary of his
birth in 1759.
The celebrations involve traditional Scottish food,
including haggis, and recitals of Burns' famous work.
"Celebrating the beauty of Scotland, the power of
nature, and the poetry of Robert Burns. Happy Burns Night," said a message
posted with the video.
The Prime Minister also posted about the poet after hosting
a Burns Night event at Downing Street earlier this week.
"Wishing Scots in the UK and around the world a very
Happy Burns Night," he said.
