Prince William and Kate Middleton showcased a united family front as they attended a church service at Crathie Kirk during their holiday at Balmoral Estate. The Wales family came to the event in fine form. Kate and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis—were right there with him as Prince William drove their new family SUV, a Range Rover.
As the family drove away, Kate Middleton, 43, joined her husband in the front seat on the way home. In the meantime, their kids gleefully installed themselves in the rear. All eyes were on the colorful pageantry Prince George, 12, seated next to his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. With perfectly coordinated charm, both boys had on matching shirts and knit jumpers.
The third in line to the royal throne King Charles, 76, and Queen Consort Camilla, 77, were seen walking towards St. King Charles donned a traditional kilt, while Queen Camilla wore an elegant feather print dress complemented by a feathered hat. As she left the service, though, Queen Camilla certainly projected an air of happiness and attitude. Her gravitas matched the royal family’s sense of duty so evident throughout this public-facing appearance.
Along with the Wales family, Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie attended the event. They were escorted by a different vehicle, with Sir Timothy Laurence at the wheel. The participation of all these members of the royal family underlined both the importance of the occasion and the royal family’s commitment to tradition.
The visit to Crathie Kirk marks a significant moment for the royal family as they balance their public responsibilities with personal time at Balmoral. This annual respite provides an extraordinary opportunity for the royals to deepen their connections with one another. They experience some of the magnificent Scottish scenery.
