Vanity FairMeanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s move appears imminent, as their children, Archie and Lilibet, are already enrolled in a British school for the new academic year. However, the family is not expected to travel to Balmoral to join the Windsors on vacation. According to The Telegraph, the logistics of traveling to the Scottish Highlands make this unlikely, and although no one at the palace is completely ruling out a last-minute meeting, it is already becoming clear that their return will not guarantee them an invitation to Christmas at Sandringham either. It will depend on the will of King Charles III, since the attendance of his various relatives at such family gatherings is by personal invitation only. Originally published in Vanity Fair Spain

Vanity FairSummer in the Scottish Highlands is usually the retreat where the British royal family seeks privacy and rest. It’s a time for walks in the countryside, barbecues, and memories of Queen Elizabeth II. However, this year’s customary summer stay at Balmoral Castle has been rocked by a media bombshell: the unexpected return of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the United Kingdom.

Although the news coincided with the British royal family’s arrival in Scotland (King Charles III was informed last Sunday and began his official stay at Balmoral Castle the following day), the palace was quick to deny that this vacation at Balmoral was an emergency meeting to address the situation. Buckingham Palace has insisted that the royal family’s vacation had been scheduled for months and that there has been no closed-door “summit” of any kind, unlike the one held in 2020 at Sandringham, the site of the royal family’s negotiations regarding Harry and Meghan’s departure from the institution.
