King Charles and Queen Camilla have been joined by Andy Burnham at a church service near Balmoral. The royal couple were spotted travelling in the back of a black Rolls-Royce with the Prime Minister's Range Rover following close behind.It is traditional for the Prime Minister to stay at Balmoral each year for a few days at the end of summer and is where King Charles has been spending his summer break. The Sunday service took place at Crathie Kirk - a small, granite church on Royal Deeside.It comes just days after the King spent a day out with the Prime Minister taking in the Bayeux Tapestry on Wednesday.Charles hailed the Tapestry as a 'precious symbol of trust' between nations as he welcomed Emmanuel Macron to Britain for the historic unveiling of the medieval masterpiece. The King and the French president came together at the British Museum and were joined by Mr Burnham to see the 70-metre-long embroidery, which is being loaned to Britain by France for the first time in its nearly 1,000-year history.The landmark exhibition, which opens to the public next week, marks a major moment in Anglo-French relations and follows years of negotiations over bringing the extraordinarily fragile artwork across the Channel.King Charles described the tapestry as a powerful reminder of the enduring ties between the two countries, saying: 'The tapestry's story is one of ambition and uncertainty, of oaths and journeys, of ships, councils, kings, comets and consequences.' King Charles and Queen Camilla were spotted travelling in the back of a black Rolls Royce Meanwhile, Andy Burnham's Range Rover followed close behind as they headed to the serviceHe added: 'Yet it is not merely an English story, nor only a Norman one. Indeed, from the moment of its creation, it may have brought together our two peoples: commissioned in Normandy, yet most likely to have been embroidered in Canterbury by English craftspeople.' The King and Mr Macron arrived together at the museum in the State Bentley, while Queen Camilla and Brigitte Macron followed behind in another car.They were welcomed by the Prime Minister and his wife Marie-France van Heel before being joined by Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, France's culture minister and Sir Thomas Drew, Britain's ambassador to France.Mr Burnham and Mr Macron appeared particularly at ease as they chatted and at times put their arms around each other, while Ms van Heel spoke French with Mrs Macron.The Prime Minister delivered the final speech of the day, joking with the French president: 'Thank you for this elaborate, 70-metre reminder of Britain's biggest defeat.'He then poked fun at the tapestry's depiction of William, Duke of Normandy, travelling south to claim the English crown.The Prime Minister said it showed 'a leader from the north, coming south to seek the crown – that would never happen now'.The royal party later met British and French schoolchildren gathered in the Great Court.On Saturday, Charles and Camilla attended the annual Braemar Gathering in the Highlands.The King and Queen were greeted by thousands of spectators at the famous Highland Games event.Balmoral was the royal residence most beloved by the late Queen Elizabeth II, and was where she died in September 2022.Monarchs have traditionally invited Prime Ministers and their spouses to the Deeside estate to get to know them in a more relaxed setting.During the late Queen Elizabeth's reign, Premiers would stay for several nights and enjoy – or endure – a busy schedule of barbecues and blood sports.In the past decades Harold Wilson, who is said to have 'got on like a house on fire' with Queen Elizabeth II, would join members of the Royal Family for riverside picnics on the Balmoral estate.But things were very different with Margaret Thatcher, who reportedly found the traditional September weekend at Balmoral painful.One observer wrote: 'A weekend in the country with aristocrats who enjoy riding, shooting, sports and games is Thatcher's idea of torture.'Mrs Thatcher could not abide the charades that she was expected to play after dinner at Balmoral.During a gathering of six of her premiers, the late Queen once joked about 'the party games which some of you have so nobly endured at Balmoral'.
