King Charles and Queen Camilla brightened up a rainy Balmoral morning with their church visit at Crathie Kirk, just after sending their heartfelt birthday wishes to Prince Harry.

The 75-year-old King, sporting a dapper tweed blazer and waistcoat paired with a paisley pocket square, was seen in high spirits. 

Meanwhile, Queen Camilla, embraced traditional country elegance in a blue blazer with tartan trim and a green pillbox hat adorned with a feather.

The royal couple made their way to the Scottish estate’s church for Sunday service following their online birthday greetings to Prince Harry. 

Early this morning, the Royal Family's official X account shared their birthday message, with similar well-wishes posted by the Prince and Princess of Wales later in the day.

Both have shared warm birthday wishes for Prince Harry’s 40th, posting a cheerful message on social media: "Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!" 

The post featured a joyful photo of Harry in a light grey suit jacket and white shirt, flashing a wide grin and his signature bracelets. An emoji of a pink birthday cake accompanied the heartfelt message.

These birthday messages come amid a challenging period for the Royal Family, marked by revealing interviews, TV documentaries, and Harry’s memoir, Spare, which has strained family relations.

Since stepping down as a working royal in 2020, Prince Harry has settled in Montecito with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whom he describes as the "best gift" he’s ever received.
