King Charles was reportedly “mortified” upon learning that a group of fishermen had been “booted off” a river for him, but his response demonstrated remarkable grace. Fishing remains one of the more tranquil pursuits, so it’s hardly surprising that accomplished fly-fisher Charles continues to find opportunities to cast a line, especially considering the demands of the Crown.
However, a recent excursion to Scotland seemingly proved less tranquil after His Majesty allegedly apologised to a group of fishermen who were reportedly compelled to “relinquish the best bit” of the Thurso River for the King. A party of insurance brokers had been enjoying a £4,000 per person fishing expedition near the Castle of Mey in Scotland’s far north, but were left “put out” after being instructed to promptly “relocate”.
