King Charles has been spotted for the first time since Prince Harry spoke of his wish to "reconcile" with the royal family.
His Majesty was photographed on Sunday attending church on his Sandringham estate in Norfolk where he's currently staying for the weekend.
Looking relaxed and happy, pictures showed the monarch smiling and waving as he rode in the back of a car. Charles, 76, looked smart dressed in a dark suit, a crisp shirt and a patterned tie.
He was also seen wearing his trusty gold signet ring which was previously worn by King Charles's uncle, Prince Edward, the Duke of Windsor. Charles's outing comes just days after his son Harry gave an emotional interview about his court case and wanting to "reconcile" with family.

He told the broadcaster: "I would love reconciliation with my family, there's no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious, I don't know how much longer my father has, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff."

The father-of-two went on to say: "There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family. This current situation that has now been ongoing for five years in regard to human life and safety is the sticking point. It is the only thing that's left."

The 40-year-old challenged the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office over the decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of protection when in the country.
