However, a trip to Balmoral for William and Kate could be placed in doubt due to Prince Andrew’s presence.

Sources told The Daily Beast that the Prince of Wales, 42, would likely decline to be at Balmoral at the same time as the Duke and Duchess of York.

They claimed William would likely prefer the company of Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, along with their children, Lady Louise and James, Earl of Wessex.

Prince William is often photographed beside the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh showing a close rapport with the couple.

Every summer the Royal Family travels to Balmoral in Scotland for their summer holidays.

Many view the guest list as a reliable measure of who is favoured and disliked by the King and Queen.

Balmoral Castle, which is nestled in the Scottish Highlands, was one of the most beloved retreats of Queen Elizabeth II.

In September 2022, the late monarch died peacefully while she was present at the castle.
