Harry and meghan set for major snub as charles and william make key decision

An invite for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to join King Charles and Prince William at Balmoral this summer was never a realistic possibility, a royal author believes. In a major snub to

the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the monarch and his eldest son reportedly came together and decided things were just too challenging, with both reigning monarch and Princess Kate undergoing

treatment for cancer. Some royal observers believe the family gathering in Scotland represented the perfect opportunity to extend an invite to Harry and Meghan, but it is understood the

Sussexes will not be returning to the UK. Royal author Tom Quinn told the Mirror the situation was the "last thing" the family needs. He said: "With Kate and Charles in a

difficult place, the last thing the family needs is Harry at Balmoral. Everyone knows that it couldn’t be done without also inviting Meghan and that is a step too far. "Meghan has

always been seen as the main driving force behind Harry’s public attacks on the family. William and Charles know that inviting Harry without Meghan is just to give Harry another subject for

the sequel to Spare that Harry is writing." Prince Harry is thought to be penning a tell-all memoir from 2023. The Duke said shortly after the autobiography's publication that

"there could have been two books", telling The Telegraph: "The hard bit was taking things out." Prince William and his family are set to join the Royal Family for their

traditional summer trip, which will mark Kate's longest journey since her diagnosis. In June, Kate shared an emotional message with the public, saying she was "not out of the woods

yet" and had "good days and bad days". She added that her treatment would continue for "a few more months". Prince William has been enjoying his holidays in

Balmoral ever since he was a child and Princess Kate began joining him once they married in 2011. The estate has played an important role in William's life. He once told the General

Assembly of the Church of Scotland: "Scotland is a source of some of my happiest memories but also my saddest. I was in Balmoral when I was told that my mother had died. "Still in

shock, I found sanctuary in the service at Crathie Kirk that very morning and in the dark days of grief that followed I found comfort and solace in the Scottish outdoors. "As a result,

the connection I feel to Scotland will forever run deep. Alongside this painful memory is one of great joy, because it was here in Scotland 20 years ago this year that I first met

Catherine."
