While his Clarence House office has declined to comment on the incident, Charles is believed to have been driving an Audi A4 Allroad Estate when the accident happened.
A spokesman for Clarence House confirmed that an incident occurred, although royal sources said it was low-key.
Prince Charles walked away uninjured from behind the wheel, but his auto, an Audi, was damaged.
But while the 67-year-old royal reportedly escaped the crash totally unharmed, the condition of the deer is not known.
It is understood Charles was on a break from official royal duties at the time.
The sources said: ‘Red Deer are a hazard on the roads up here and most drivers have had a brush with them at some point. “He’ll have got a hell of a fright”.
On Saturday, Her Maj played chauffeur to Kate Middleton and her parents, along with Prince William in Balmoral.
