The Balmoral summer holiday is an annual tradition for the royal family, offering them a chance to unwind and escape the public eye. However, this year's gathering will be different, as it's the first since the passing of the late Queen last September. King Charles has extended an open invitation to all family members, but Harry and Meghan have declined for the third time.
Their initial absence in 2019 was reportedly due to a heated dispute between Harry and William, which is at the center of recent discussions.
During a recent summit, the Wales family openly criticized the Sussexes, condemning what they view as their manipulative PR tactics, including book deals and Netflix projects. The council unanimously agreed that the Sussexes should be removed from the royal family immediately.
According to Robert Lacey's book "Battle of Brothers," William had tried to discuss some of the issues raised by Meghan's Vogue magazine interview with his brother, Harry. This discussion ended in an argument, deepening the rift between them. Consequently, Harry, Meghan, and Archie stopped joining William, Kate, and other family members for their annual summer holiday at Balmoral.
King Charles III is reportedly planning a historic royal summit to chart the future of the monarchy. He intends to assign clear roles to each family member, including himself and Queen Camilla. The King sees Prince William and Kate as pivotal figures whose star quality can help unite the Commonwealth and secure the monarchy's future for generations to come.
The summit will convene at Balmoral, and while Prince Charles and the Princess of Wales will be present, Prince William will be absent due to other commitments. King Charles is determined to prioritize the Commonwealth and safeguard the monarchy's resilience during his reign.
