Princess Charlotte joins dad Wills for church service with the King as royals enjoy Bank Holiday weekend in Balmoral

PRINCESS Charlotte and her dad drove to church in Balmoral today for a Bank Holiday service with the King.

Wills was seen attending Crathie Kirk for the church service in Aberdeenshire with Charlotte, 10, in the back of the car.

Kate, along with children Prince George, 12, and Prince Louis, seven, joined them.

The King and Camilla were earlier seen in the back of a car on their way to church.

Prince Edward and wife Sophie and their two kids, are also due to join the King for his summer break in Balmoral.

The summer break at the Scottish estate is the only time except at Christmas that the entire Royal Family get together.

Charles and Queen Camilla, there for the next three weeks, will also be visited by PM Sir Keir Starmer next month.

It comes as Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson joined King Charles for his Balmoral summer break — despite new revelations in a tell-all book.

The pair are staying half a mile from the King at seven-bedroom Craigowan Lodge, one of the late Queen Elizabeth’s favourite boltholes and within walking distance of a nine-hole golf course.

Daughters Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, and their children are expected to join them later.

It comes after the Duke’s behaviour was panned in Andrew Lownie’s book Entitled — and nine months after he was banned from Christmas at Sandringham amid links to an alleged Chinese spy.

An insider said: “The Balmoral invitation is a huge show of support.”

It comes after the revelation that Prince William is moving his family to a “forever home” in a bid to build happy memories after three tough years.

Eight-bedroom Forest Lodge, nestled in Windsor Great Park, is where WilliamKate and children GeorgeLouis and Charlotte will remain even after he becomes King.

Insiders say they are hoping for a “fresh start” after a difficult time at Adelaide Cottage, during which Queen Elizabeth died and Kate and Charles were diagnosed with cancer.

It is the ideal pad for their young family and far removed from Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle.

They are paying for the move and rent at no extra cost to the taxpayer, it is understood.

And, unlike Harry and Meghan when they splashed £2.4million of taxpayers’ money on Frogmore Cottage, Wills and Kate are funding all renovations themselves and will have no live-in staff.

he Sussexes later paid back the money before being evicted by King Charles.

Planning applications seen by The Sun show work has already started on minor internal and external renovations at the 328-year-old, Grade II-listed lodge — and the Waleses aim to be in by Christmas.

The home offers spectacular views and football-mad William will be able to see the Wembley Arch from his bedroom window.

And Kate has already been spotted picking new furniture to kit out the new abode, including a 24-seater table.
