Overview

• Prince William drove the family to Crathie Kirk near Balmoral on Aug. 24, with Princess Kate in the front seat and their three children seated in the back.
• Photographs show the Princess of Wales with a noticeably lighter, honey-blonde hairstyle paired with a berry-toned coat and a bow-adorned hat.
• Senior royals also attended, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne with Sir Timothy Laurence, and Prince Edward with the Duchess of Edinburgh.
• The service formed part of the royal family’s longstanding summer tradition at Balmoral, where a guard of honour from the Royal Regiment of Scotland marked the arrivals.
• Outlets noted the outing as a rare 2025 public appearance for the full Wales family and characterized the scene as a display of unity, while reports reiterate plans to relocate to Forest Lodge later in 2025.
