King Charles was pictured smiling this morning as he appeared in public for the first time since it was revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been evicted from Frogmore Cottage.
The monarch attended the morning service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk, on a cold Sunday morning.
He smiled as he was seen walking outside the church with the priest.
It is the first time the King was seen since it emerged that he asked his younger son Harry and his wife Meghan to vacate Frogmore - the house where they had been living before moving to the US when they stepped down as senior royals.
Earlier today, it was confirmed that the King invited Harry and Meghan to his Coronation in May - but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not confirmed yet whether they will attend it or not.
The Sussexes' spokesperson said Harry and Meghan received "email correspondence" from His Majesty's office to invite them to the Coronation, but added: "An immediate decision on whether The Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time."
Yesterday, Prince Harry said during a live interview with Dr Gabor Maté, author of The Myth Of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing In A Toxic Culture, that he and other members of the Royal Family "don't speak we same language".
The Duke of Sussex said that therapy helped and told Mr Maté: "I feel better."
Harry, 38, said: "I realised that I’d learned a new language and people that I was surrounded by once, they didn’t speak the language – and so I actually felt more pushed aside."
The interview came days after it emerged that Harry and Meghan were "stunned" that the monarch asked them to leave Frogmore Cottage and remove their belongings from the property.
According to Omid Scobie, one of the authors behind the biography of Harry and Meghan, Finding Freedom, the King's decision came after Harry released his controversial memoir Spare in January.
He claimed that the couple was told the property was needed for "someone else" and that relations between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the Firm were at "an all-time low".
Writing for Yahoo, he explained: "It's news, sources tell me, that has left Harry and Meghan stunned, and at least two members of the Royal Family 'appalled'."
Meanwhile, Meghan's former friend Lizzie Cundy said she believes the monarch's Coronation may be a good time for royals to unite after their recent fallout.
Speaking to the Mirror, model Lizzie said: "I think the Coronation is coming at the right time.
"It will inject new life and positive feeling to our new King as it will bring the nation together over such tough times such as coronavirus, the high cost of living crisis and all the terrible interviews that Harry and Meghan have done against the King and the Royal Family.
"I think the public need to be reminded how amazing our monarchy is, it's like no other in the world and how we must respect it and see how good it is for our own country and what hid it does like helping so many charities."
