Kate Middleton and Prince William: Royal Family Attends Church Together Days After Harry's Return News


Published: Aug 23, 2026 05:03 PM EDT

Prince William and Kate Middleton joined the royal family for a Sunday church service near Balmoral Castle on August 23, arriving alongside their three children just days after news broke that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are relocating back to the United Kingdom.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 44, were photographed in a car heading to Crathie Kirk, the small church near the Scottish estate, with Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, in the backseat. King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived separately for the same service, continuing the family's long-standing summer tradition at Balmoral, a retreat that has drawn generations of royals back to Sunday worship each August.

The appearance comes just one day after it was revealed that Harry, Meghan, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, plan to move back to the UK, with the kids set to start school there in September. A source close to the family says Harry's return could offer the "best opportunity" for the estranged brothers to begin repairing their relationship, though no reunion has yet been confirmed.
