The King and Queen, along with the Prince and Princess of Wales, have attended a Sunday service at a church near the Balmoral estate. Charles and Camilla were pictured in the back seats of a car arriving at Crathie Kirk, Crathie, Aberdeenshire.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay when in Scotland, were pictured in another car, with William driving. The royal family traditionally holidays on the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire over the summer.
Kate was seen sporting blonde hair as she showed off her new look. Even through the tinted windscreen, it was clear that her hair was several shades lighter than usual.

It marks a sharp departure from her usual brunette look, which has been a trademark of hers since entering the public eye when she was first seen with William.
The small Church of Scotland parish kirk is their regular place of worship when they are at Balmoral, and Queen Elizabeth II regularly attended services there.
The Princess Royal and Duke of Edinburgh were also pictured attending the service.
