Queen Camilla was photographed looking casual on Saturday as she stepped out in Scotland wearing blue jeans and a puffer jacket.
Camilla, 78, joined famous faces and best-selling authors to celebrate this year’s Braemar Literary Festival at The Fife Arms in Royal Deeside.
The three-day event, which started on Friday, is a celebration of literature which was established in collaboration with The Queen’s Reading Room. It is now in its fourth year.
Camilla first launched her book club during the Covid pandemic and it quickly grew into a charity which ‘champions’ literature and provides free educational content.
The festival brings together novelists, historians, artists, and actors with keen readers of all ages.
As she stepped out during the event on Saturday, the royal wrapped up against the bracing Scottish autumn weather.
Camilla appeared to be wearing a navy jumper underneath her cosy puffer jacket.
She completed the ensemble with a pair of blue loafers, blue socks, and a clutch bag in a lighter shade of the hue.

Meanwhile, she wore her blonde tresses loose, and styled into loose waves, and a minimal make-up look.
Authors this year included Sir Alexander McCall Smith, bestselling writer Monica Ali and the author/screenwriter of global sensation One Day, David Nicholls.
Camilla’s son, food writer and critic Tom Parker Bowles also returned alongside restaurant critic and columnist Giles Coren.
And it was that event that Queen Jeanie Camilla headed to, accompanied by Fife Arms co-owner and art gallery guru Iwan Wirth.
Queen Camilla has attended the Braemar Literary Festival multiple times, most notably at its launch in 2022, where she met author Sebastian Faulks.
All of the festivities are taking place only a short drive from Balmoral Castle where Camilla has been spending the summer with King Charles.
The Queen was at the Fife Arms on Friday: the visit was recorded in the Court Circular.
However, there was no mention of whether Queen Camilla had popped into the establishment’s famous Bertie’s Whisky Bar which was inspired by the life and times of King Edward VII.

Hotel residents can also enjoy Bertie’s Whisky Bar which was inspired by Edward VII, known to his family as Bertie, and which has whiskies arranged according to taste under categories of ‘fragrant, fruity, rich and smoky’.
Edward VII was King Charles III’s great, great grandfather and had an affair with Alice Keppel, the great grandmother of Queen Camilla.
It also has a very popular public bar, The Flying Stag, which boasts regular live entertainment.
Meanwhile, private areas of the hotel include The Cellar, which focuses on fine wine.
There is also an art deco cocktail bar – called Elsa’s – which was created in honour of Elsa Schiaparelli, the famed fashion designer who often visited Braemar.
Queen Camilla was perhaps instead entertained in the hotel’s star dining room – the Clunie – which is named after the river which runs past the establishment.
It was painted in a modern design by the artist, Guillermo Kuitca.
