The anticipated Royal Family congregation at Balmoral Castle in the upcoming summer shall conspicuously omit Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The sovereign, King Charles, has purportedly resolved against extending an invitation to the Sussex couple for the Scottish abode's gathering. The assemblage is predicted to encompass Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, King Charles himself, and Queen Camilla.
Royal observer Richard Palmer expressed his reservations regarding the prospect of Harry and Meghan gracing the occasion, particularly in the wake of Harry's disclosures within his literary creation "Spur" earlier this year. In it, he divulged his father's injunction, advising him to refrain from including Meghan in his entourage during his visit to the now-deceased Queen Elizabeth last September.
Conventional practice within the royal lineage involves collective engagements, such as angling and hunting, on the precincts of the estate while sojourning at Balmoral—a property under royal possession since the year 1852. King Charles is anticipated to perpetuate this time-honored custom post the 16th of August, marking the estate's cessation from public access, where he shall extend his stay through September.
Sources intimate that Meghan has incurred a perpetual prohibition from King Charles, effectively precluding her from setting foot on the Balmoral premises evermore. This state of affairs crystallized when Harry received the explicit directive to journey unaccompanied by Meghan during his visit subsequent to Queen Elizabeth's demise.
Harry's recollection within his memoir alluded to his father's rationale for this stipulation as being nonsensical and evincing disrespect. Nonetheless, King Charles remains resolute in his edict, thereby exacerbating the prevailing tensions within the royal fold.
