King Charles and his wife Queen Camilla were spotted grinning and waving to the cameras as they visited a royal wedding venue over the weekend.
The couple have begun their annual summer break which sees them leave behind their London residence Clarence House for Balmoral Castle in Scotland, which is where the late Queen Elizabeth II traditionally spent her summer holidays.

They were driving to Crathie Church, which is known as a regular place of worship for British royals when they're staying at Balmoral. It also happens to hold another special significance for the family, as it is where Princess Anne married her second husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.

The Princess Royal chose an unconventional bridal outfit consisting of a high-neck midi dress with a white jacket and black court shoes for her low-key second wedding, which was attended by just 30 guests including her parents the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, her children Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, Prince Charles and Prince Andrew.
Anne and Timothy – who was equerry to the Queen from 1986 to 1989 – met when he was serving on the Royal Yacht Britannia and their romance developed in 1989, the same year Anne and her first husband separated.
Timothy later popped the question with a gorgeous cabochon sapphire and diamond ring.

The monarch spent Christmas 2022 at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk before travelling to his Scottish residence, Birkhall. During his visit, Charles was spotted with Camilla at the small parish church looking warm in a camel coat while his wife wore a furry hat.
