The King looks set for a chilly stay in Norfolk as his Sandringham estate issued a weather warning to visitors.
In an Instagram Stories post on Monday, the estate shared a message saying: "Due to the current weather conditions, we may close the Courtyard facilities early today. The Children's Play Area is closed until further notice. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding."
It comes after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning across the east coast of England and Scotland, stating: "Scattered snow showers and icy patches have the potential to cause disruption to travel in places on Monday into Tuesday morning."

While Sandringham House and its gardens are currently closed, the royal parkland, which includes the Courtyard café, shop and children's play area within its 20,000 acres, is accessible to visitors all year round.
It comes after the King and Queen made their first public appearance of the year on Sunday, as they braved the January chill to attend a service at St Mary Magdalene Church on the estate.
