Charles and Camilla attended a mass on Sunday at the small granite church of Crathie Kirk, where a private mass for members of the royal family was held on September 10, 2022.
Queen Elizabeth, who was very religious, had donated to this small church where she frequently went a Bible decorated with the royal coat of arms.

Elizabeth II had received at Balmoral, where she was resting, the brand new and very short-lived Prime Minister Liz Truss, on September 6, 2022. It was the last public appearance of the 96-year-old sovereign, who died two days later. However, she feared dying at Balmoral, as her daughter, Princess Anne, confided in a documentary, apprehensive about the complications that this implied for her funeral.
After being placed in public view at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, the Queen’s coffin was flown to London by military aircraft. The coffin then lay in public view in Westminster Hall, the oldest chamber in the British Parliament, until the funeral on September 19.
