The Queen and Anne were seen having a chat before they headed in for the service.
The Sunday outing sees the first time the King and his sister have been seen together at Sandringham since the Firm was together for Christmas festivities.
Anne attended the annual walkabout with the King and Queen, and they attended the Christmas service at St Mary Magdalene church.

Charles has returned to Sandringham after spending last week in Scotland.

The monarch met with Scotland's First Minister this afternoon as he hosted a celebration of Scottish business at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

In the Throne Room at Holyroodhouse, the King and First Minister John Swinney welcomed guests to mark Scotland's thriving entrepreneurial landscape.

The pair began by greeting representatives from Rosebank Distillery, a historic operation established in 1840 that claimed Best in Show at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Both sampled a dram during the encounter.

Scotland has emerged as Britain's fastest-growing region for new technology company registrations, whilst investment in female-led Scottish enterprises has increased by 10.5 per cent over the past year.

In recent days, the King released a video to celebrate 50 years of the King’s Trust, in which he spoke about his pride in the charity.

The charity, originally established as The Prince's Trust, was created by Charles in 1976 with the specific aim of helping vulnerable young individuals overcome difficult circumstances, find employment, or establish their own enterprises.

In a video message commemorating the milestone anniversary, the monarch stated: "Over the last 50 years, the work of my trust has proved beyond doubt that supporting young people through personal development and the acquisition of self-confidence and self-esteem can make a real difference and transform lives."

The organisation came into being during a turbulent era marked by record joblessness, soaring inflation and widespread civil unrest across Britain.

Charles used his £7,400 severance payment from the Royal Navy to establish the initiative, channelling the funds into various community projects designed to support struggling young people.

What began as a modest endeavour has since grown into one of Britain's foremost youth organisations, with research indicating the trust has generated at least £11.4billion in societal value over its five decades of operation.
