The royal family have been keeping a relatively low profile of late having escaped to Balmoral in the midst of various Princess Diana revelations.
But today the family put on a united front as they headed to church for their regular Sunday Service.
The Duchess of Cambridge, who has not been seen since her recent tour of Belgium, joined Prince William for the short journey to the Crathie Kirk chapel this morning.

Kate, 36, recycled a £369 chocolate coloured wool coat from Hobbs for the service which she was first spotted in in 2012.
She added an elegant edge to her ensemble in the form of an oversize black hat and appeared to have opted for a printed turquoise dress which could be seen peaking from the collar.
The Duchess kept her makeup to a minimum on Sunday and wore her hair in natural waves while off-duty on her summer break.

Prince Edward, who was joined by Mike Tindall were not far behind, seen sharing a joke as Edward drove them to Crathie Kirk.
The picturesque Crathie Kirk, where the Queen is a regular while in residence at Balmoral is a mere stone’s throw from Balmoral Castle on Royal Deeside.
The Queen has been a regular at the Sunday service since arriving in Balmoral in July.
Her Majesty typically arrives in Scotland August after Balmoral castle is closed to visitors and full security checks are carried out on the grounds.

The Queen famously enjoys a more low-key existence while staying at the Scottish retreat – with her former royal protection officer Richard Griffin recently revealing that she had a conversation with unsuspecting American tourists visiting the estate while dressed in tweeds and a scarf.
Balmoral, which was bought by Prince Albert for £32,000 in 1852, is said to be the Queen’s favourite home.
During her stay at the castle, she relaxes by going for walks on the Aberdeenshire estate, eating picnics and cooking barbecues.
Princess Eugenie has previously said of Balmoral: ‘It’s the most beautiful place on earth. I think Granny is the most happy there.
‘I think she really, really loves the Highlands.’
