In another segment, Nina informed the audience: "The King will attend a church service near Balmoral this morning on the second anniversary of the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

" She added: "Charles will head to Crathie Kirk for private prayer and reflection. The late Queen, who worshipped at the same church, was staying at the same highland estate when she died at the age of 96, two years ago."
