Prince Charles is reportedly makes regular morning visits to the Queen at Balmoral amid her mobility struggles.
Royal experts say the visits are a sign the prince is concerned about the welfare of his mother and her ongoing struggle - with Her Majesty being seen for the first time using a walking stick in public earlier this year.
Yesterday it was revealed the Queen would not make the 1,000 mile trip from Balmoral to appoint a new Prime Minister next month - with the new PM instead travelling to Scotland.
