“It’s been quite a year for the Royal Family so far, and nothing would please the King more than to reunite his immediate family for a while in the peace of Balmoral, to take stock together, to celebrate what has been an incredibly difficult few months and to look back; the future,” said former BBC royal correspondent Jenny Bond.
A highly symbolic place
Balmoral is a particularly symbolic place for Prince William, who describes the Balmoral estate as “the source of his happiest but also his saddest memories”. “I was at Balmoral when I was told my mother had died. (…) And in the dark days of sadness that followed, I found solace in Scottish nature. As a result, the connection I feel to Scotland will be forever deep,” he said in 2022. It was also at Balmoral that Queen Elizabeth II died on 8 September 2022.
Going to Scotland, however, will depend on the health of the Princess of Wales. “As Catherine herself has said, cancer treatment brings great uncertainty and this must extend to her ability to spend part of her summer holidays at Balmoral (…). He will want to bring back the summer months as fun and carefree as possible. for the children after everything he went through,” the reporter adds.
