The King and Queen appeared in high spirits as they arrived at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral this morning to attend a Sunday service. Travelling in a metallic blue car, Charles, 76, and Camilla, 77, smiled as they made their way through the snowy roads close to their Scottish estate.

Wearing a tweed jacket, the King looked relaxed as a driver took the wheel, navigating him through the streets of Crathie on a cold winter's day. Camilla, who sat in the front seat, smiled in her stylish black coat and a matching fur-lined hat. The royal's close friend and one of her six royal companions, Lady Sarah Keswick, joined the couple and sat next to the King.

Dressed in a black coat, red scarf, and beret hat, Lady Sarah appeared cheerful as she travelled alongside Charles in the back of the vehicle. She is the daughter of former Conservative MP Simon Ramsay, the 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 chairman of Arsenal Football Club. King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Lady Sarah Keswick took to Crathie Kirk near Balmoral this morning to attend a Sunday service.

Chips and Camilla jointly owned And Reach For The Moon, one of the horses bred by Queen Elizabeth. The couple have shared a close bond with Camilla – and King Charles – down the decades. For instance, it was at Sarah's 50th birthday party, held at the Ritz in 1995, that the then Prince of Wales first appeared in public with Camilla, shortly after her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles.
