King Charles, his wife Queen Camilla, William and Kate ventured out to church in Balmoral this weekend as the core of the Royal Family enjoy a summer break. This is the first break the family has spent at Balmoral since the death of the late Queen in September 2022, at the same estate in Scotland, reports the Mirror.
The King is expected to spend three weeks in the estate, as he was seen visiting Crathie Kirk for a Sunday church service this weekend. William and Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales, were also spotted heading to the service, and were joined by a controversial figure too.
Prince Andrew was stripped of his HRH title in 2022 following outrage over his alleged friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, as well as his out-of-court settlement in a US civil sex case. Prince Edward and wife Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, joined the service and were accompanied by Anne, the Princess Royal, as well as Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
The late Queen's lady-in-waiting, Lady Susan Hussey, was also seen among those heading to church. Lady Susan Hussey's appearance has come after she quit her honorary role as a Lady of the Household following a storm over her comments to Ngozi Fulani.
Following this news, Buckingham Palace released a statement condemning the "unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments". But now, Lady Susan seems to be back working with the family, and was also pictured with King Charles in January going to church on the Royal Family's Norfolk estate.
Today's gathering of royals is thought to be one of the largest since the Queen's passing in September last year. During his visit to the Balmoral estate, the King will hold a royal summit to lay out the future direction of the monarchy, sources have
