Speculation continues to swirl around whether the King will extend an invitation to the Duke of Sussex and his family to visit the beloved Scottish retreat, Balmoral.

The Duke of Sussex has previously referred to Balmoral as a paradise, adding fuel to the ongoing speculation.

A royal expert, however, confidently claims to have insight into the decision that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will ultimately make.

Traditionally, members of the royal family visit the monarch during his summer retreat in Scotland, usually upon receiving a formal invitation.

While there has been no official confirmation of such an invitation, rumors suggest that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are likely to receive one.

The question remains whether they will accept the invitation or not.

In his memoir “Spare,” the Duke expressed his joy and contentment at Balmoral, likening the estate to paradise.

He vividly described it as a magical blend of Disney World and a sacred druid forest, emphasizing the peace and happiness he found there amidst activities like fishing, shooting, and exploring the picturesque surroundings.

Renowned royal historian, Tom Quinn, firmly believes that the couple from Montecito will politely decline the invitation to visit Balmoral.

Reports from The Mirror indicate that while the King is expected to extend the customary invitation, it is anticipated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will respectfully decline the offer.

Despite Balmoral’s sprawling 50,000-acre expanse being an ideal setting to escape the past, concerns arise regarding potential disruptions to the tranquility needed by Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, as she supports her husband through his health challenges.

Quinn elaborated on the delicate situation, suggesting that the Duke of Sussex may be reluctant to accept the invitation due to strained relations with his older brother, the Prince of Wales.

Allegedly, the Duke and his brother are currently not on speaking terms following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s public criticisms of the royal institution.

The specialist highlighted the complexities of the situation, stating that while the Duke of Sussex has genuine concern for Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, any meeting with her would inevitably involve encountering his brother, making such a reunion unlikely.

The dynamics within the royal family continue to intrigue observers, with tensions and rifts playing out against the backdrop of traditional expectations and familial obligations.
