Princess Anne's children and grandchildren were spotted watching today's ceremony
Zara and Mike Tindall and Peter and Harriet Phillips have officially arrived at Balmoral for their summer break, GB News can reveal.
Earlier today, King Charles attended the formal arrival ceremony at Balmoral, where the monarch was welcomed by a Guard of Honour provided by the Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
His Majesty is Colonel-in-Chief of The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
The Company was supported by the Pipes and Drums of the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
The Tindalls, as well as their children: Mia, 12, Lena, eight, and Lucas, five, joined the Phillipses to watch the ceremonial welcome from inside the castle grounds.
It is also understood that Mr Phillips's children, Savannah, 15, and Isla, 13, were present.
The King has been busy in Scotland this August, attending the Castle of Mey Games, meeting the Assynt Mountain Rescue team, and engaging with the communities of Halkirk and Castletown, including opening a distillery housed in a restored mill.
Stationed outside the front gate of Balmoral were the first two members of the revived Balmoral Highlanders, which His Majesty has re-established following its disbandment in 1936 under the King’s great-grandfather, George V.
Both the new Highlanders are employees of the Balmoral Estate and will also take part in the Braemar Gathering in September.
In keeping with tradition, each Highlander carries a ceremonial Lochaber Axe and wears a Highland uniform which takes inspiration from the original uniform worn in the late 1800s.
The kilt and plaid are made from the Balmoral Glen Gelder tartan, which was designed by The Scottish Tartans Authority at the request of King Charles.
