KING Charles is set to get back to work today for the first time since Prince Harry's bombshell memoir hit the shops.
The King was yesterday spotted driving in Aberdeenshire ahead of the public engagement today at Aboyne and Mid-Deeside Community Shed.
His Majesty looked stern and serious just hours after his son was seen downing shots of tequila on a US talk show.
The 38-year-old's words have sparked headlines for days due to claims he was attacked by his brother the Prince of Wales, he killed 25 Taliban members during the Afghanistan war and took illegal drugs.
Yesterday Princess Kate also broke cover for the first time since Harry made shocking claims about her relationship with Meghan Markle.
The Princess of Wales looked cool, calm and collected as she was seen driving into the grounds of Windsor Castle.

During the King's Scottish engagement, he is expected to be greeted by Lord Lieutenant Sandy Manson before being given a tour of the Community Shed's ground floor.
During his visit to the home to the Aboyne Men's Shed workshop, Charles is set to watch craft skills in action, including wood and stone carving, and meet the men who gather there weekly.
He is also expected to meet representatives from other charities and voluntary groups, including the Inverurie-based Aberdeenshire North Foodbank, Gordon Rural Action and Young at Heart Deeside.
It comes after The Sun revealed Harry will not be welcome at the Coronation of King Charles because senior family figures fear what they say will “end up in paperback”.

The families of Princess Anne, 72, and Prince Edward, 58, are concerned that private details of the Coronation will be exploited at a later date.
Family members are concerned they would not feel comfortable speaking freely if the pair are there.
A source told The Sun: “There have been discussions among the family, including Edward and Anne.
“They do not want private conversations at the Coronation making it into the paperback edition of Spare.”
Tipped by industry experts to be one of the year's biggest books, Spare contains a series of revelations about royal life.
According to the publisher, the English language edition of Spare sold more than 1,430,000 units in all formats and editions in the United States, Canada and the UK on January 10 when it first hit bookshop shelves.
Speaking about the record sales, president and publisher of the Random House Group Gina Centrello said: "While many books by public figures can be fairly categorized as 'celebrity memoir,' Spare is not that.
"Vulnerable and heartfelt, brave and intimate, Spare is the story of someone we may have thought we already knew, but now we can truly come to understand Prince Harry through his own words.
"Looking at these extraordinary first day sales, readers clearly agree, Spare is a book that demands to be read, and it is a book we are proud to publish."
