The Duke of Sussex, the last of the family seen to arrive, was wearing a black suit and tie as he sat in the back of a car as it pulled into Balmoral, reports the Scottish Daily Express. He flew into Aberdeen Airport alone.
Prince William, the Duke of York, the Earl and Countess of Wessex landed at Aberdeen airport at 3.50pm.
