King Charles and Queen Camilla were pictured at Balmoral for the first time this summer, with the King driving her to a church service on Sunday. The Queen sat beside him in the passenger seat as they went to Crathie Kirk church, which is near the castle.
Charles looked relaxed as he waved to people while driving his Audi Q8 e-tron electric SUV to the service. Camilla smiled as she joined him in greeting the public and photographers.
The King and Queen dressed smartly for the Sunday service. King Charles, 76, wore a camel coat over his usual suit and tie. Queen Camilla wore a stylish hat with green and black feathers that matched her outfit, GB News reported.
Crathie Kirk is the Royal Family’s usual place of worship when they stay at Balmoral. The King and Queen are in Scotland for their yearly holiday.
The trip usually starts in August, but Charles’s holiday was delayed because he was leading the Victory over Japan Day commemorations.
VJ Day, observed on August 15, marks the end of World War Two worldwide.
On Friday, the King and Queen attended a ceremony at the Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire to mark the day.
They were joined by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, members of VJ associations, military personnel, and senior politicians for the national remembrance service.
The King laid a wreath in honour of those who died and held a two-minute silence.
While at the event, Camilla was moved to tears when a 105-year-old war veteran paid tribute to Charles in his speech. Yavar Abbas saluted “my brave king" as he added a personal message. He spoke directly to King Charles and praised him for attending despite his ongoing cancer treatment.
The veteran also said that the King’s late grandfather, King George VI, would have been proud of him. King George VI, who was Queen Elizabeth II’s father, struggled with lung cancer for years before passing away in 1952.
