The Prince of Wales was snapped driving himself to a Sunday church service in Scotland today.
Charles, 74, who is currently staying in Scotland, where he is known as the Duke of Rothsay, appeared to look relaxed behind the wheel of his car as he made his way to Crathie Kirk church.
He was joined by Prince Edward, 58, who was seen driving a different car, with his daughter Lady Louise Windsor, 18, in the passenger seat.
The royals have a long history of attending the church, at which Queen Victoria began worshipping in 1848.
Since then, every British monarch has worshipped at Crathie Kirk when staying at nearby Balmoral.

Prince Charles is currently undertaking his annual visit of Scotland, where he has been meeting locals, visiting businesses and attending church services.
Last week, he donned a kilt to attend a service at Canisbay Church in Catihness.
Charles began his annual stay at the Castle of Mey near John O’Groats at the end of July.
The Castle of Mey was the only home ever owned by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother first saw what was then known as Barrogill Castle in 1952, while mourning the death of her husband, King George VI.
Falling for its isolated charm and hearing that it was to be abandoned, she decided to save it.
Having acquired the most northerly-inhabited castle on the British mainland, The Queen Mother renovated and restored it and also created beautiful gardens.
Since arriving in Scotland, the Duke of Rothesay has undertaken a number of engagements, including meeting food bank volunteers in Caithness.
