The King is expected to spend almost a month at the royal residence in Scotland, after he was welcomed via a guard of honour - featuring a Shetland pony - earlier this week.
King Charles, his wife Queen Camilla, William and Kate ventured out to church in Balmoral this weekend as the core of the Royal Family enjoy a summer break. This is the first break the family has spent at Balmoral since the death of the late Queen in September 2022, at the same estate in Scotland, reports the Mirror.
The late Queen's lady-in-waiting, Lady Susan Hussey, was also seen among those heading to church. Lady Susan Hussey's appearance has come after she quit her honorary role as a Lady of the Household following a storm over her comments to Ngozi Fulani. The King is expected to lay out precise roles for himself, Queen Camilla, as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales in this summit. A source close to the King said: "His Majesty is very clear. The Commonwealth must be at the very heart of his reign. He sees it as his utmost duty to fulfil the sincere wish of his late mother, that one of his central roles must be to ensure not only the survival but the robustness [of the organisation].
