King Charles visited Jedburgh during Royal Week in Scotland, officially launching an exhibition match of the town’s historic hand ba’ game. Security briefly intervened as the play moved close, though the King remained unharmed. Local leaders explained the sport’s centuries‑old origins, and participants expressed pride in the royal involvement. The visit coincided with the start of the Jethart Callant’s Festival, where the King met community members, watched performances, and toured local businesses during his three‑hour stay.
