In her announcement, Princess Eugenie indicated her intention to bring together a diverse and influential community, including business leaders and media personalities, to work towards a substantial goal.
This declaration garnered substantial praise from her followers, with some playfully suggesting she might outshine Meghan Markle with her impressive undertaking. Others in the online community were curious, speculating whether she might be distancing herself from the royal family or following in Meghan's footsteps.
Princess Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, who maintain close ties with Harry and Meghan, are regarded as intellectual members of the royal family. The sisters recently visited the Royal residence in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where Queen Elizabeth typically spends her private vacation in August, carrying on the family tradition. King Charles, Queen Elizabeth's eldest son and successor, also arrived at Balmoral, marking the beginning of his stay.
Notably, this Balmoral retreat will be the first for Princess Eugenie's two-month-old son, Ernest, whom she shares with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, along with their two-year-old son, August. August and Ernest have the perfect playmate in their cousin Sienna, Princess Beatrice's one-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Princess Beatrice is married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and is a mother to young Christopher Woolf from Edo's previous relationship.
Insiders have disclosed that Princess Eugenie and Jack will be taking their two sons, August and Ernest, to the Balmoral estate. However, the notable absence of Meghan from the event is attributed to concerns that images of the children will be exploited and to prevent any potential disruptions. Previously, Meghan had used a photo of August to create misleading images at Frogmore Cottage.
Due to these concerns, it's not just Princess Eugenie but other members of the royal family who might find Meghan and Harry's presence uncomfortable. Reports indicate that Megan and Harry have not been invited to the royal family's reunion at Balmoral this summer, as King Charles has no plans to extend an invitation. Consequently, this also means that their two children, Archie and Lilibet, will not spend the summer with their UK-based relatives.
As the wider royal family gathers at Balmoral Castle for their summer retreat, Princess Eugenie's presence with her children and Princess Beatrice with her family has already been confirmed. Prince William and Kate Middleton, known as the Prince and Princess of Wales, are expected to join the gathering this week. This stay at Balmoral Castle marks the first summer getaway in Scotland for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie since the passing of their beloved grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, on September 8, 2022.
