The annual royal family summer holiday is a well-known event of the royals, this is a rare time when a majority of the royal members are within one estate. The Balmorals in Scotland has always been where the royals would spend their summer holidays, this has been where Prince William, Prince Harry, Princess Eugenie and Beatrice grew up spending their summers.
But it has never been the same since Meghan Markle entered the royal accolade.
According to Robert Lacey’s newest book, ‘Battle of Brothers’, Meghan and Harry skipped two summers with the royal family in Balmorals.
In 2018, the couple did not join the royals in Balmorals as Meghan Markle was in the early stages of her pregnancy, at this time, it was understandable they were not able to join.
This was also the year wherein the rumors of Harry and William’s relationship being different than it was before, according to royal aides, the two were already had a cold exterior toward each other.
The next year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were said to decline the invitation of the Queen to join the entire family in Balmorals citing the reason that their son, Archie Harrison was too young for air travel.
But this was not true at all, the couple instead jetted off to Minorca in Spain for a week rather than spending it with the Queen in Balmorals.
Not only that, Harry and Meghan also joined musician Elton John in France the same summer holiday, bringing their son Archie Harrison with them.
A royal aide that works for the Queen commented on how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are confusing the Queen they should serve too.
The couple did get massive backlash from these actions and it only made the Princes Harry and William's relationship crumble.
Prince William will be the future King of England, and as an older brother, the prince is only trying to look out for Prince Harry.
In the time that Prince Harry was dating Meghna Markle, William had no qualms with is, thinking that it will be just another innocent fling of Harry.
When Harry did bring up the idea that he wanted to marry the American actress, William immediately discouraged Harry.
‘Battle of Brothers’ recount the very thing William did that Harry got so furious about. Prince William intervened with his proposal with Meghan by lobbying their uncle to discourage Harry.
‘Battle of Brothers’ will be available this coming October 13.
