The King and Queen Consort acknowledged members of the public this morning as they made their way to Crathie Church in Balmoral to attend a Sunday service.
King Charles, 73, seemed a little shaken as he waved to the benefactors of his Rolls Royce, which was speeding through the roads near the Balmoral estate.
Today marked the second time Charles and Camilla, 75, went to church since the Queen’s seven-day period of personal mourning ended on Sept. 26.
The monarch wore a tweed blazer and waistcoat and a striped green, blue, black and yellow tie for the outing.

Meanwhile, the Queen Consort opted for a green coat with red trim, and completed her ensemble with a matching hat with a feather cockade.
On Friday night, Camilla attended a dinner to launch the first-ever Braemar Literary Festival at the Fife Arms hotel in Highland village.
Ending today, the three-day festival celebrates the work of bestselling authors alongside visual artists, spoken word artists, singer-songwriters, screenwriters, critics and publishers, reflecting the many ways the “literary” creatively enhances our lives.
The event is being held in conjunction with The Reading Room, the book club founded by Camilla.

First launched in January 2021, the online literary hub was inspired by the success of the then Duchess of Cornwall’s reading lists shared during the 2020 pandemic. It offers book recommendations and exclusive insight from the authors themselves.
Camilla, who donned a blue long-sleeved dress for the event, was in her element as she chatted with guests including British author Sebastian Faulks, The Reading Room director Vicki Perrin and Scottish poet and writer Jackie Kay.
“This inaugural festival promises to be an exciting event bringing together the Braemar village community, guests of The Fife Arms, The Reading Room and literature lovers everywhere,” a statement from the event organizers said.

The Queen Consort’s outing comes after she delighted followers on her Reading Room Instagram account by revealing the four novels she is recommending this fall.
Now in its eighth season, the club’s latest books are designed to “warm your hearts and cool your bones” — with Bram Stoker’s Dracula clearly a nod to Halloween on the horizon.
Joanna Quinn’s Whalebone Theater was also included, as were Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief and Elizabeth Gilbert’s City of Girls.
