Wearing a smart cream coat, the King sat behind the Queen as they were driven through the streets of Crathie on the chilly winter day. Sitting in the front passenger seat and showcasing a radiant smile, the Queen put on a stylish display in a fur hat.

Their appearance today comes after Vanity Fair's explosive new article claimed Prince Harry had hoped to hear from members of his family after publishing his bombshell memoir Spare. The Duke of Sussex, who released his tell-all book in January 2023, reportedly told a guest at an event later that year he had not heard from any of his royal relatives since its publication.

But, the source added, Harry had a 'very genuine' hope that they might reach out in the future. They told the magazine: 'That's sort of what made me so sad. His hope seemed very genuine. And I was just kind of like, "Oh, no".'. They said Harry had seemingly not 'absorbed the gravity' of publishing the memoir, which included bombshell accusations against his family.

This included those about his brother Prince William, who Harry claimed branded Meghan 'difficult', 'rude' and 'abrasive', and even accused him of pushing him into a dog bowl.
