The King and Queen smiled at well-wishers along their route to Crathie Kirk near Balmoral this morning as the couple attended Sunday service.
Charles, 75, and Camilla, 77, traveled in their Audi and waved to attendees as they made their way through the roads near their Scottish estate.
Wearing a tweed jacket with a green and red tie, the king looked relaxed as he was driven through the streets of Crathie on a bright autumn day.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, with a beaming smile, the Queen put on a stylish presentation in a green coat and red beret with feathers.
The royal couple were accompanied 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.

Addressing a host of famous faces, including former prime ministers Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf, King Charles called the opening of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 a “new dawn” for the country.
“This place is not just thriving,” His Majesty said. ‘But this is testament to the enduring relationship between Parliament, the Crown and the Scottish people.’
The King also praised Scotland’s ‘extraordinary diversity’ and told how the country has always had a ‘uniquely special place in the hearts of my family and myself’.
