King Charles takes Queen Elizabeth's Bentley state car to Crathie Kirk instead of the usual Land Rover

On 30 August 2026, King Charles, Queen Camilla and Princess Anne travelled to Crathie Kirk, near Balmoral, in the burgundy Bentley state limousine commissioned for Queen Elizabeth II's golden jubilee — not the Land Rover typically used in Scotland. Charles had said he learned of his cousin King Harald V of Norway's death "with the most profound sadness" two days earlier.
