The strain in the relationship between father and son has been evident since the release of Prince Harry's comprehensive memoir. Contact between Prince William and his brothers has also diminished, making any chance of reconciliation seem out of reach, according to sources close to the royal family.
Last year, Meghan and Harry were invited to Balmoral by the late Queen, but they declined the invitation. Balmoral was Her Majesty's favorite property, providing her with a respite from the hardships of being Queen and an opportunity to relax with her family.
In the past, Meghan and Harry had spent time at Balmoral after their wedding in 2018 and returned in 2019 for the traditional family trip. However, since their move to North America and subsequent relocation to Montecito, California, the Sussexes have drifted apart from the rest of the royal family.
With tensions and fractures within the family, this year's summer break at Balmoral will be without the presence of the Sussexes. The dynamics between them remain uncertain, leaving many to wonder if there is a chance for reconciliation in the future.
