Queen Camilla was seen in high spirits as she lunched in the picturesque Scottish village of Ballater with members of her current family.

Look tanned and casually dressed, he chose to jeans, shirt and jumper with a green quilted jacket and loafers for his outing in Ballater, which is the closest village to Balmoral Castle, where the King arrived today to start a hot spot.
Photos from the happy family gathering emphasize what a close relationship Camilla has with her two children from her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles and her granddaughter – who calls her Gaga.
In 2022, he told the Mail how he stays in touch with modern trends such as Instagram and TikTok. He also talked to her at the House Party during the lockdown.

Like Charles, Camilla enjoys the tranquility of Royal Deeside and looks forward to her summer holidays, spending hours outside walking her dogs and reading some of her favorite books.
Earlier today, King Charles looked relaxed as he officially arrived at Balmoral Castle for his annual summer stay. His Highness seemed to thrive in the Highland air despite the cancer treatment he was undergoing.
Following in his late mother’s footsteps, Charles also met the Royal Regiment of Scotland’s Shetland Pony mascot, Corporal Cruachan IV.
The animal was on its best behavior for the monarch, 75, before trying to eat Queen Elizabeth’s posy, forcing her to tell him sternly: ‘Go away!’
Official arrivals at the private royal estate are two weeks longer than usual as some of the castle’s rooms have been opened to the public for the first time this year as a cash-generating exercise.
The £100-a-time tickets were so popular that they sold out within hours.
During a small ceremony outside the Castle Gate, the King – dressed in traditional tartan – reviewed a Guard of Honor formed by the Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland, under the command of Major Neil Cargill.
The Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland and the Pipes and Drums of The Royal Corps of Signals performed.
Charles is staying with Camilla at Birkhall home for now, but will be joined by family and friends over the next few weeks at Balmoral.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to have three children as, potentially, the Duke of York, which could lead to an awkward scene given the latest salvo in the so-called ‘siege of the Royal Lodge’.
The King wants his younger brother, Prince Andrew, to leave his 30-room mansion in Windsor now that he is no longer a working royal, but he refuses to move.
It emerged this week that Charles had struck a deal to pay for his brother’s security team personally from October, in another attempt to force Andrew to step down.
He wanted to move to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, the five-bedroom home of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but Andrew felt this “demotion” was too far.
