Prince William and Kate Middleton have reportedly left Balmoral after spending about a week with King Charles and Queen Camilla, with their departure coming shortly after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to Britain with their children.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are said to have been staying at the Scottish royal estate as the summer break draws to a close. Their departure also comes as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis prepare for the new school term.
The timing has attracted attention because Harry and Meghan recently arrived back in the UK with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The couple, who stepped away from their senior royal roles and moved to California several years ago, are reportedly planning to spend a longer period in Britain.
According to reports, Harry and Meghan travelled to Birmingham by private jet and are expected to stay in a property in the Cotswolds. Their children are also reportedly set to attend school during the upcoming academic year.
Harry and Meghan’s return has once again placed attention on the strained relationship between the Sussexes and the Prince and Princess of Wales. The brothers have faced years of reported tension, with their relationship remaining a major talking point within the royal family.
Some reports have claimed that William and Kate were caught off guard by the Sussexes’ plans and could be concerned about what the return might mean for the family. However, neither William nor Kate has publicly confirmed those claims.
For now, the Prince and Princess of Wales appear to be turning their attention toward their children and the approaching school year, while Harry and Meghan’s return continues to generate widespread interest.
