Summary
King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Kate appeared together at Crathie Kirk on Sunday, their first public outing since reports that Prince Harry and Meghan will relocate to Britain.
The church appearance at Balmoral, joined by George, Charlotte, Louis, Princess Anne and the Edinburghs, projected family unity after the Sussexes' return disrupted the royals' annual Scottish retreat.
Buckingham Palace said the Balmoral stay was planned months ago and denied any emergency summit, drawing a contrast with the 2020 Sandringham talks over Harry and Meghan's exit.
Archie and Lilibet are already enrolled in a British school, signaling the move is near, but Harry and Meghan are not expected to join the family in Scotland.
Any future invitation to Christmas at Sandringham would depend on King Charles, underscoring that the Sussexes' return is still being treated as a family matter rather than a formal palace strategy.
