As attention continues to swirl around Prince Harry's book and the revelations surrounding the royal family, King Charles has appeared publicly in Scotland, turning the focus back to his royal duties.
The monarch visited Peterhead Port in Aberdeen, where he met members of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and organisations working across the region's energy sector.
In a photo shared on social media, Charles appears focused on the communities and causes at the heart of his visit. Dressed in a traditional Scottish kilt, he was all smiles and in high spirits amid reports regarding Charles Spencer's Diana book release.
While family controversies continue to attract headlines, the King's public engagements offer a different picture, reflecting his preference for duty, tradition and his ongoing role as monarch.
