King Charles has planned to spend his summers with his daughter-in-law, Katherine, the Princess of Wales, in hopes of spending more time together amid their separate cancer battles. According to Closer Weekly, the monarch talked to the Princess of Wales about going to Balmoral together for the summer, along with the kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
"They just talk about going to Balmoral together for the summer and look forward to that. Kate may just spend time there with Charles before the rest of the family comes," said the source. This comes after an insider revealed that the Princess of Wales, whom Charles considers a daughter he never had, tries to lift his spirits despite battling cancer herself.
"Kate always lifts Charles's spirits by giving him things to look forward to in the future," a source told In Touch Weekly. "He's really into nature, and so if she sees something or a place that they can go to together when they're feeling up to it, she shares that with him."
Regarding his other daughter-in-law, King Charles reportedly never considers inviting the Sussexes to Balmoral Castle this summer. "Charles will never go out of his way to invite Prince Harry and Meghan Markle," a royal commentator claimed.
The Sussexes moved to the Santa Barbara neighborhood in 2020 after stepping back as senior royals. Royal commentator Tom Quinn claimed that despite Harry potentially returning to the UK in May, he's unlikely to return to royal duties with his wife.
"Harry is scheduled to speak at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on May 8th to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. The games were founded by Harry when he was still a working royal, so pressure isn't being brought to bear to make him give it up now," he continued to tell The Mirror.
"But even if Harry begged to be allowed back to help out, even if his father, King Charles, became so ill that he was unable to carry out his duties, whatever happens, the call to Montecito will never go out. Making the US his primary residence is Harry's final goodbye."
Harry declared the US to be his country of residence amid the ongoing legal battle surrounding his visa documents. Documents submitted to Companies House in the UK showed the Duke of Sussex amended his filings for travel lists to declare that he usually resides in the US rather than Britain.
The Sussexes have been cut off from the royal family's communication network and are not regularly updated on how the king and the Princess of Wales are, according to columnist Morin Kahan.
"The palace has imposed an information blackout on the Sussexes following the cancer diagnosis of the top two royals," Kahan said.
"After the Princess of Wales announced that she was undergoing cancer treatment last month, it emerged Harry and Meghan only learned about the diagnosis like the rest of the public," she continued.
Speaking to GBN America, Callahan said, "The only real thing that Meghan Markle and her husband have to merchandise is their connection to the royal family. It really is the singular point of interest for either of these people. What's true that we know is that Harry and Meghan are now in a complete informational blackout. They have no idea what's going on with the health of Kate. They really have no idea, it seems, what's going on with the king, so she's really got nothing to offer."
