Round the corner from their residences at Balmoral and Birkhall is a Scottish village that the royals have treasured for many years.
And now the King and Queen have been immortalised in Lego after receiving miniature versions of themselves while in Ballater, Aberdeenshire, yesterday.
Charles and Camilla visited the village’s Albert Hall to mark its 150th anniversary, seeing Highland dancers, hearing a piece of fiddle music and greeting crowds.

The building, founded in 1875, was reopened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1987. They were shown a Lego recreation of it and tiny versions of themselves, which had been made by the village’s Lego club.
Nicola Reid, 45, who put the final touches on the model, said it was a ‘labour of love’ and that the royals appeared to ‘really like it’.
She added: ‘He seemed quite impressed - he might treasure it.’
