William and Harry's row about Meghan Markle which saw Sussexes snub Balmoral invitation

William and Harry's row about Meghan Markle which saw Sussexes snub Balmoral invitation

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry aren't expected to join King Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton and the rest of the Royal Family for their annual summer holiday to Balmoral - but it's not the first time they've missed the trip

Tensions are still high between William and his brother and sister-in-law

The Balmoral summer holiday is a highlight in the royal diary, giving the family time to catch up and relax away from the spotlight. While this year will be the first trip since the Queen's passing, King Charles is reportedly set to carry on the special tradition.

But Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to miss the holiday, despite having an "open invitation". It will be the third time the couple have decided not to make the trip, likely due to the distance and ongoing tensions between Harry and his family. The first time they decided to skip the Scottish break - back in 2019 - was reportedly due to a row between Harry and Prince William.

According to royal author Robert Lacey the brothers had a "showdown" shortly before the trip about the edition of Vogue that Meghan guest edited. While it's normal for royal women to appear in the magazine, with Princess Diana and Kate both gracing the cover, Meghan turned down the opportunity and instead asked to edit it.

The issue was a huge hit

In his book Battle of Brothers Lacey claims William tried to talk to his brother about some of the issues raised in the magazine - but it didn't end well.

He writes: "William had been worried for some time that Harry was growing away from him, and this was confirmed when he tried to discuss the issues raised by Meghan's Vogue with his brother.

"But there was another classic Harry explosion, followed by a further, even deeper rift. Suddenly Harry, Meghan and Archie were no longer joining William, Kate and the other members of the Royal Family for their annual summer holiday with Grandma at Balmoral.

"The official excuse, conveyed straight-faced by the palace, was that at three months Archie was still too young for the air travel involved. But that didn't stop the Sussexes somehow managing to travel to Minorca for a week that August, and then taking Archie with them for a few days in the South of France with Elton John and his partner David Furnish."

'Damaged Goods' Meghan Markle Is Moving Away From Being A Royal By Signing With WME: Royal Expert Dior knew they could get Meghan Markle without spending too much, according to a royal expert. British socialite and royal pundit Lady Colin Campbell joined Dan Wootton in the recent episode of "GB News." They were also joined by royal biographer Phil Dampier. During their discussion, Wootton asked the "Meghan and Harry" author about her take on the rumor that Markle was signing a multi-million dollar deal with Dior amid her husband's legal battle. Wootton wondered if the move was a sign that the former actress was carving an independent career path from her spouse. "Well, you know Dan, I said it that I was told that  she went to WME  to move away from being royal, and they said to her, this is, she had to forge a new path," Campbell  said . "But I think we need to be very careful what we believe because I'm told by friends of name in P
