Overview

• Prince William and the Princess of Wales were photographed driving with their three children to the Crathie Kirk service near Balmoral on August 24.
• Images show William at the wheel, Catherine in the front passenger seat, and Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis seated in the back; King Charles, Queen Camilla and Princess Anne also attended.
• Multiple outlets highlighted Catherine’s visibly lighter, honey-blonde hair during the outing, with reports noting debate over whether it reflects a new color or lighting effects.
• Reporting on the couple’s planned move to Forest Lodge says they will pay market rent on the Crown Estate property and cover renovations themselves, with planning approvals already noted.
• A Kensington Palace spokesperson told People the move is expected by Christmas if work finishes on time, while separate claims that two tenant families were asked to relocate come from anonymously sourced reports that remain unconfirmed.
