Some images speak louder than an official statement, and the Windsors’ latest appearance at Balmoral is one of them.
In the middle of summer, when the family usually hides from the cameras, they all reappeared for a classic event, Sunday mass at Crathie Kirk, the church that always marks their Scottish summers.
The surprise was seeing practically the entire family. Prince William arrived at the wheel of his Range Rover with Princess Kate and their three children, who are becoming increasingly comfortable with this type of outing.
The Princess of Wales caught everyone’s attention with a maroon coat by Blaze and a Lock&Co bow headpiece, very much in her style.
Behind them, in the royal car, came King Charles and Queen Camilla, smiling and relaxed, she dressed in khaki green from head to toe.
Also present were Edward and Sophie, who were very close to those waiting at the doors, and Princess Anne, more soberly dressed in a khaki hat and white scarf around her neck.
Her presence has added value after the health scare she had a few months ago. Seeing her again at a family event is a detail that does not go unnoticed.
The scene was completed with a solemn nod from the Royal Regiment of Scotland’s honor guard as they welcomed the Windsors at the church entrance.
A gesture that reminds us that, at Balmoral, tradition and monarchy are always present.
