Taking to their joint Instagram account on Sunday, January 25, the Prince and Princess of Wales marked Burns Night by sharing a soothing stanza from Robert Burns’ 1786 poem, Composed in Spring.
“Celebrating Burns Nights with a stanza from ‘Composed in Spring’, written by Robert Burns in 1786,” they captioned.
