King and Queen to recuperate at Sandringham after Coronation celebrations
The King and Queen will travel to Sandringham to recuperate from three days of coronation celebrations as other royals return to official engagements.
In a personal written message to the nation released on Monday, His Majesty and the Queen pledged to rededicate themselves to public service after rounding off three days of celebrations.
The King and Queen, whose official portraits were also released along with the message, danced at a Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle before making a spontaneous cameo on American Idol.
They spent Monday away from the public eye as royals attended a series of Big Help Out events across the country, including a debut engagement for Prince Louis who drove a digger at a scout hut in Slough.
Their Majesties will make their way to Norfolk on Tuesday before resuming royal duties.
In the message to the nation, the King said: "As the Coronation weekend draws to a close, my wife and I just wanted to share our most sincere and heartfelt thanks to all those who have helped to make this such a special occasion."
Meanwhile, senior members of the Royal family will go back to business as usual from Tuesday. The Prince and Princess of Wales will host a garden party at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the coronation.
While the Duchess of Edinburgh will visit Morden College in Blackheath, London, of which she is a patron, while the Duke attends a dinner at Stonehage Fleming in St James's Square for his patron charity, the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Foundation.
Traditional official portraits marking the crowning of Charles III and Queen Camilla were released on Monday night to round off the monarchy's landmark occasion.
Among them, the King was captured in his full regalia - wearing the Imperial State Crown, holding the Orb and Sceptre with Cross, and dressed in his regal purple tunic and Robe of Estate, seated on a Throne Chair in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace.
Camilla was pictured alongside the King, and also in a solo portrait, wearing Queen Mary's Crown, with the train of her lengthy embroidered Robe of Estate spread in front of her.
The working royal family - the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Edinburghs, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke of Kent, the Gloucesters and Princess Alexandra - were also photographed stood with the King and Queen in the images by Hugo Burnand.
The Duke of York - who stepped down from being a working royal after his controversial Newsnight documentary - was missing from the family group of royals in the official coronation portraits released so far.
Andrew, who was at the coronation in his Order of the Garter robes, paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case last year.
The Duke of Sussex was also missing, no longer being a working royal, and having headed back to California shortly after the coronation ceremony.
