It seems it's too late for them to make amends now, and both Meghan Markle and Harry will be noticeably absent from the Royal Family's annual summer holiday.
Next week, King Charles and Queen Camilla will be heading to Scotland for their first Balmoral stay without the late Queen Elizabeth. Prince William and Princess Kate will, of course, join the family at some point. However, Meghan and Harry will not be making any appearances.
The strained relationships between father and son have hit rock bottom ever since the release of Harry's tell-all memoir. Any hope of reconciliation between the brothers still seems like a distant dream. A close friend of the family revealed that this year has been visibly challenging for the Sussexes.
The strained relationship between Charles and Harry, as well as the non-existent contact between William and his brother, does not bode well for any family reunions.
Last year, Meghan and Harry were invited to Balmoral by the late Queen, but they declined the invitation. Balmoral was Her Majesty's favorite retreat where she could relax with her family. Meghan and Harry had previously enjoyed some time at Balmoral in 2018 and 2019, but by 2020, they had distanced themselves from the family and made their move to America.
