King Charles jokes about old Scots school's sports failure at Edinburgh party

The King joked about his school's poor performance on the cricket pitch when he hosted a garden party at his official Scottish residence.

When Charles met Jacqueline and Trevor Hills from Nairn, a seaside resort in the Scottish Highlands, the talk quickly turned to the sound of leather on willow – as cricket is known to fans. Commenting on the King, who has been receiving treatment for cancer, he added: "Charles looks every well considering what he's been through and it was lovely meeting him."

The new palace constables were Victoria Webber, 42, a breast surgeon, and Belinda Hacking who said they applied for the posts after hearing about them and sent in their CVs as requested and had a short interview. The four members of the royal family separately toured the garden party meeting a large number of guests and despite grey clouds that threatened rain only a few spots fell.
