Prince William and Duchess Catherine are with the British Royal Family in Balmoral enjoying their summer break.
The couple were spotted making their way to a Sunday church service, with Wills’ uncle, Prince Andrew, driving the pair to Crathie Kirk chapel.
It was a full service with Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla all in attendance.

The Scottish village of Crathie Kirk is very dear to the entire family, with many noting the significance of their attendance over the weekend.
20 years ago, the Queen made the call to head to the same church with her grandsons Prince William and Prince Harry, the morning after Princess Diana died, on August 31, 1997.

Seeing the family out during their annual summer break is especially rare.
Many royal watchers believe they’re showing a united front amid reports that the Queen would be stepping down to make way for her son, Prince Charles to become Prince Regent.
On the back of Prince Philip retiring, there has been increasing speculation that the Queen would “step aside if she was still on the throne aged 95.”

It has been 20 years since Princess Diana passed away.
Rejecting the claims, one source told The Sunday Times, “The Queen has always been so vehement that there will never be a regency unless she was sick to the point of being unable to perform her duties.”
While the palace have not commented on mounting speculation that the Queen would step down, officials have reminded everyone of the monarch’s loyal pledge that she made at just 21 years of age: “I declare … that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service.”
