In photos obtained by The Express, they were photographed arriving for Sunday's service.

The monarch and his wife were driven to the church, and could both be seen in the back seat during the journey. The King wore a smart black suit, while his wife wore all black but covered her legs in a plaid blanket in shades of grey and black with subtle red detailing.

King Charles and the Queen Consort attended church near Balmoral

Their Scottish residence, Birkhall, has been described as "a unique haven of cosiness and character" by the King himself, and is where he and Camilla spent some of their honeymoon following their wedding in 2005.

Charles inherited Birkhall from his grandmother the Queen Mother when she died in 2002, and often spends summers there with his wife.

He also inherited his grandmother's Scottish holiday home, the Castle of Mey, later opening a bed-and-breakfast within the property's grounds. On Friday, Buckingham Palace released a photo showing the King working from his new office prior to the Queen's funeral.
