The Princess of Wales, 42, was pictured in the car alongside Prince William
The Prince and Princess of Wales have treated themselves to a weekend away in Scotland without their children.
William and Catherine, both 42, spent a few days at Balmoral, the monarch’s private Highland estate.
The Mail understands that their young brood, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis remained in Berkshire.
The couple were seen at church today with King Charles and Queen Camilla.
A still-bearded William drove himself and his wife to nearby Crathie Kirk, the Princess country casual in a favourite hat with a feather and a tweed coat.

However she accessorised this with an eye-catching £2,780 pair of Cassandra Goad Temple of Heaven earrings she has worn on several occasions previously.
It is the first time the Princess has been seen in public since the good news that she has finished her course of preventative chemotherapy following her health scare earlier this year.
Catherine has stressed, however, that her health and staying ‘cancer free’ remain her priority, as does her young family.
She has announced she will begin to undertake a small number of public duties, and last week held her first major meeting at Windsor Castle of her Early Years initiative that was documented in the Court Circular.
The couple, who also visited Scotland over the summer with their family, will no doubt have revelled in the relaxed outdoors lifestyle the Royal Family enjoy on Royal Deeside.

It will also have given them the chance to catch up with Charles and Camilla ahead of their big tour to Australia and Samoa next month.
The King adores his daughter-in-law and they have both provided each other with emotional support during their respective cancer treatments this year.
The king is still undergoing weekly treatment for an unspecified form of the disease.
She was joined by members of her household team as well as representatives from her Centre for Early Childhood at Kensington Palace.
It was formally recorded in the Court Circular, the official record of royal engagements, which read: ‘The Princess of Wales, Joint Patron, The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, this afternoon held an Early Years Meeting at Windsor.’
It was the first meeting noted in the Court Circular since the princess held a round table of her Royal Foundation on December 6 last year.
Kate Middleton Steps Out With William Following End of Chemotherapy
On Sunday, Kate Middleton was seen with Prince William in photos published by The Sun, heading to Sunday service near the Balmoral estate in Crathie. This is one of her first public outings since she announced the end of her chemotherapy treatment two weeks ago. Both King Charles and Queen Camilla were also seen heading to the service together.
The Princess of Wales did make a few appearances this summer, including a visit to Wimbledon in July with her daughter, Princess Charlotte. The princess received a standing ovation from the crowd as a show of support.
On September 9, Kate announced that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment in a video message. The video showed her enjoying time with William, Charlotte, and her two boys, Prince George and Prince Louis.
“As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” the princess said. “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”
She continued, “Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes…I am, however, looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.”
She concluded by thanking fans for the support she and William received, saying she has “drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time.”
“Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling,” she shared. “To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey—I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light so let that light shine bright.”
Kate, the Princess of Wales, makes first public appearance after cancer treatment
LONDON (AP) — Kate, the Princess of Wales, made her first public appearance Sunday since she announced she had completed chemotherapy and would return to some public duties.
Kate and her husband, Prince William, were seen Sunday attending church with King Charles III and Queen Camilla near their royal Balmoral estate in Scotland.
Kate, 42, announced on Sept. 9 that she had completed treatment six months after revealing she had an undisclosed type of cancer. Her announcement came six weeks after Buckingham Palace announced that the king was being treated for cancer.
In a video announcing her progress, she said the path to full recovery would be long and she would take it day by day. She said she would undertake some limited engagements through the end of the year.
While she stepped away from most public duties during her treatment, Kate made two appearances earlier this year. First, during the king’s birthday parade in June, known as Trooping the Colour, and most recently during the men’s final at Wimbledon in July, where she received a standing ovation.
