Today's agenda

Hello and happy Monday! 

Kicking off a new week, we have King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark moving to their traditional summer residence, Grasten Palace in South Jutland, where the Danish royals have often retreated to for the warm summer months since 1935. 

The couple's last public appearance was in early July, and Frederik's mother, Queen Margrethe, and his heir and eldest son, Crown Prince Christian, have acted as regent, indicating that the Danish monarch has been enjoying a break from his public duties on holiday. They are thought to have been at their French abode, Château de Cayx in Cahors, with their 14-year-old twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine

To mark their move to the area, it's likely Frederik and Mary will meet locals. Stay with us for more live updates on the royals!

The King's outing today

It can now be announced that the King has an engagement in the far north of Scotland today. 

Charles will visit a nuclear transport ship and unveil a plaque to mark the 70th anniversary of a decommissioned nuclear site where engineers experimented with plutonium and uranium to generate electricity in the 1950s.

The monarch will attend an event hosted by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in Scrabster, Caithness later today.

He will attend a reception at Scrabster Harbour to mark the 70th anniversary of the Dounreay nuclear site, the 50th anniversary of the Pacific Nuclear Transport Limited (PNTL), and the 20th anniversary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.

It comes after Charles was spotted at church on the Sandringham estate yesterday.

His Majesty was in Sandringham just yesterday, so I suspect he's had a busy day of travel to get so far north.

Queen Camilla's favourite accessory

This weekend saw Queen Camilla attend the King George Racing Weekend, wearing a unique twisted gold bracelet - one she's been seen wearing for over 30 years!

“Queen Camilla has been wearing this distinctive bracelet since the early 1990s," says jeweller Maxwell Stone. "While Queen Camilla has never spoken publicly about the bracelet's meaning, its enduring presence over decades suggests it may carry deep personal or sentimental value – perhaps a cherished gift or a symbol of significance," Maxwell continues.
