King Charles and Queen Camilla were all smiles as they arrived for the Sunday service at Crathie Kirk.

The monarch, 75, was behind the wheel as he took his wife to church in Scotland, near Balmoral.

The couple looked in high spirits as they enjoyed a weekend away despite the rainy weather.

Charles appeared to be wearing a sage green jacket and striped tie, while Camilla, 77, opted for a blue ensemble with what appears to be a tartan collar.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were all smiles as they arrived for the Sunday service at Crathie Kirk.

Traveling in their Audi, Charles and Camilla waved to those gathered as they drove along the roads near their Scottish estate.

Wearing a tweed jacket and a green and red tie, the King looked relaxed as he was carried through the streets of Crathie on a bright autumn day.

Sitting in the front passenger seat and flashing a radiant smile, the Queen put on a stylish display in a green coat and a red feathered beret.

The royal couple were joined in the car by Camilla’s close friend Lady Sarah Keswick, who sat next to the King and is one of the Queen’s six royal companions.

She is the daughter of former Conservative MP Simon Ramsay, 16th Earl of Dalhousie, and was married to the late Sir John Chippendale ‘Chips’ Lindley Keswick, who died aged 84 in April 2024.

From 2013 until his retirement in 2020, Chips, who shared Camilla’s passion for horse racing, was president of Arsenal Football Club.

Chips and Camilla were joint owners of And Reach For The Moon, one of the horses bred by Queen Elizabeth.

The departure of the King and Queen came after Her Majesty traveled to Edinburgh to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament in true Celtic style.

Charles wore a kilt complete with a traditional sporran when he visited Holyrood, while Queen Camilla stunned in a dusty blue coat with a green tartan collar and matching headdress.

Addressing a crowd of familiar faces, including former first ministers Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf, King Charles hailed the opening of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 as a “new dawn” for the country.

“This place has not only prospered,” His Majesty said. “But in doing so he has witnessed the enduring relationship between Parliament, the Crown and the people of Scotland.”

The King also praised Scotland’s “extraordinary diversity” and spoke of how the country has always had a “uniquely special place in my family’s hearts and mine.”
