Overview

• On Aug. 24, the Prince and Princess of Wales were photographed driving to Crathie Kirk near Balmoral with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
• Kate revealed a noticeably lighter, blonder hair color during the outing, her first public sighting in more than a month.
• King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and the Duchess of Edinburgh also attended the service.
• The multigenerational appearance was one of the few 2025 public outings featuring the Waleses with all three children and was widely framed as a show of family unity.
• Coverage noted the family’s traditional summer stay at Balmoral, and some outlets reported the Waleses are expected to move to Forest Lodge later in 2025, which has not been officially confirmed.
