The traditional public welcoming party for the Queen when she arrived at Balmoral was also moved behind closed doors.

She has not been seen at church on Sundays since she arrived but it is thought she plans to attend the annual Braemar games next weekend.

Prince Andrew, 62, is staying at the main house, having moved in the day after the Queen arrived this month.

“But Charles is a very thoughtful person — and who else can she rely on now Prince Philip has gone?

“Everyone thinks they normally see each other all the time, but they don’t.
