In one of their first public outings on their trip to Scotland, Prince William and Kate Middleton joined Queen Elizabeth in attending a church service at Crathie Kirk.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were all smiles as they travelled in a car with the Queen on Sunday morning – in their Sunday best.

According to Harpers Bazaar, Kate word a green Michael Kors dress (which is already sold out) and Asprey earrings as she rode in the back with her majesty – who wore a bright pink ensemble with matching lipstick.

Prince Charles and Camilla were also seen attending the service in Aberdeenshire, along with Princess Anne, Timothy Laurence, Peter Philips and Autumn Philips.

According to Mirror, Crathie Kirk Church has been frequented by the royal family since Queen Victoria’s reign.

Two weeks ago, the Queen invited Prince Andrew to travel with her to Crathiue church near Balmoral after he faced controversy surrounding his friendship with paedo financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The Sun reported that the royals appeared to have a happy disposition as they displayed a united front.

However, the publication noted his absence the following week when the Queen rode alongside Sophie Wessex, Lady Louise Windsor and Prince Edward instead.

Mirror reported that the royal family’s Bank Holiday weekend began with a lunch at a lodge in Loch Muick.

William and Kate left royal fans pleasantly surprised by opting to travel to Aberdeen from Norwich on a commercial flight.

The Duke and Duchess were seen boarding a FlyBe plane with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The royal couple were reportedly stealth in their approach, with a fellow passenger telling the Sun:

“They just seemed like a family travelling together to be honest. No one saw them get on the plane either. It was amazing how they did it — they must have slipped on quietly after people were already seated.”

The news came just days after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were slammed for using a private jet to fly to Nice, France with their newborn son Archie Harrison

Critics argued that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex contradicted their stance on protecting the environment by chartering a private aircraft.
