The Royal Family’s annual summer holiday at Balmoral has begun with an awkward dynamic going on, while Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have been invited to stay on the estate by King Charles, the monarch is said to be keeping his distance from his younger brother.

The disgraced Duke of York, who continues to face scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and allegations detailed in a scathing new biography, has reportedly been welcomed back to Craigowan Lodge, a seven-bedroom retreat on the Balmoral estate.

A source on Royal Deeside said, “Andrew arrived at Balmoral on Friday. He was on his own, with none of the security he used to have.

He is believed to be staying at a lodge on the estate.”

The source added that Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, along with their daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are expected to join him later this week.

It’s no secret that Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle never saw eye to eye, often clashing because of their different upbringings and way of life.

Prince Harry didn’t hold back either, revealing that Middleton treated Markle poorly and even made her cry.

Reflecting on Middleton's behavior with Markle, royal author Katie Nicholl has highlighted a pattern of the Princess always finding it hard to connect with her brother-in-law’s girlfriends.

Nicholl cited Middleton's tense relationship with Harry’s ex, Chelsy Davy, as an example. Harry and Davy began dating in 2004, and their relationship lasted on and off for several years until 2011.

When it comes to peeling back the layers of royal life, historian and author Andrew Lownie has developed a reputation for going places few dare.

Fresh off the release of his explosive new biography on Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, the writer has already revealed who his next high-profile royal subject will be, and it’s none other than the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip.

In an interview, Lownie disclosed that preparations for the project are already well underway.

“I’ve put in all the FOIs [Freedom of Information requests] for a Prince Philip book already… I’m working very hard to get what I can,” he told.
