Monarch Prioritises Prince Andrew over Estranged Son Amid Royal Family’s Summer Gathering
King Charles III has made a decisive move that seems to send a clear message to Prince Harry by choosing to include his brother, Prince Andrew, in the royal family's summer gathering at Balmoral. This decision appears to underscore the King's refusal to yield to his estranged son's defiant stance toward the monarchy.
At 75, King Charles has opted to prioritise Prince Andrew, despite his controversial past, over Prince Harry, who has not been invited to join the royal family at Balmoral. The Duke of York, along with his ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, are looking forward to spending time with their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and their grandchildren during this summer holiday.
Reports suggest that the King is displeased with Harry and Meghan, potentially considering significant decisions regarding their titles in an upcoming meeting with senior royals. An insider has revealed that Prince Andrew's inclusion in the Balmoral gathering has been personally approved by the King, who seems intent on guiding Harry back onto a path more aligned with royal expectations.
A well-placed source confirmed that Prince Andrew is eagerly anticipating the royal reunion at the late Queen’s cherished estate, marking one of his few departures from Royal Lodge since Christmas.
In contrast, Harry and Meghan, along with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have been omitted from the guest list, allowing King Charles and the rest of the family, including Kate, Princess of Wales, to enjoy a peaceful and drama-free holiday after a challenging year. As the King continues his battle with cancer, he seems determined to maintain harmony during this significant family occasion, which will focus on future plans and much-needed relaxation.
