King Charles battled a gust of wind as he left a church service in Caithness, Scotland, today.
Her Majesty attended Canisbay Parish Church, near the Castle of Mey, this morning.
Although the monarch’s outfit, consisting of a thick brown tweed jacket, matching waistcoat and kilt, was appropriate for the unpredictable temperatures, it seems the harsh weather got the better of him, forcing him to maintain balance.
At one point, the King, who continues to receive cancer treatment, was photographed clutching the back of his head in an apparent attempt to ground both his hair and himself.
The moment was somewhat comical, as the priest and the guests around him burst into laughter while the King was almost dragged away.

His Majesty was pictured having some trouble today outside Canisbay Parish Church, near the Castle of Mey.
The Sunday service is part of the royal family’s annual summer holiday in Scotland. Today she took time out to meet with fellow parishioners outside the church, which is the northernmost parish on mainland Scotland.
For the service he wore a traditional Scottish kilt in red, brown and green tartan.
To complement the look, he sported a red and brown checked blazer and vest, along with a striped tie and thick green knee-high socks.
Even though the fierce wind blew him back a step, he seemed delighted and even stopped to talk to the priest and several guests.

His appearance today follows one he made at a church service in Sandringham last Sunday, where he appeared frustrated.
The 75-year-old monarch has been seen in a number of “bad-tempered” displays of late, including swearing at an aide on a trip to Jersey with Queen Camilla and getting very angry with a page at the State Opening of Parliament.
As he left St Mary Magdalene Church, Charles was seen talking to his companions (believed to be aides) and seemed a little disgruntled as he did so.

The King appeared tense and made several grumpy hand gestures as he paused before turning to the waiting crowd, although the cause of the conversation is unclear.
After looking around, he seemed to be venting his frustrations on those accompanying him before continuing to walk.
But a few moments later Charles was back to his old self, greeting those who wished him well with his usual joy and humour.
