The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are joining other members of the Royal Family for the Queen’s annual Scottish break. But royal commentator Daniela Elser warned this year’s summer holiday will be “unlike any other William and Kate have taken before”.
Writing for news.com.au, Ms Elser listed a number of reasons why the Cambridges’ trip is “shaping up to be a pretty rotten one”.
The royal expert pointed out it is the first Balmoral visit without royal patriarch Prince Philip, who died in April.
Ms Elser said: “His absence, for the first time in nearly 75 years will be keenly felt.”
The royal commentator also highlighted Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s apparent ”anti-palace media offensive”.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who quit royal duties last year for a new life in America, hit out at the Royal Family in their bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, which aired in March.
Harry went on to make further controversial comments about his family in the following weeks.
Ms Elser added that the monarchy “could well be in for another walloping and faces the prospect of the drama of Megxit being stirred up again and even more revelations unleashed into the public sphere” with the release of an updated version of the biography Finding Freedom at the end of the month.
And the royal expert said the Duke’s tell-all memoir is another worry for the Cambridges during their summer in the Scottish Highlands.

She added of Kate: “Given all of this, how can anyone, let alone a future Queen with three small children and an ever growing workload, truly relax or recharge?”
Every summer the Queen heads to Balmoral where she is joined by other members of the Royal Family.
But it has been a turbulent year for the Royal Family with the ongoing drama over Megxit.
Harry and Meghan ended royal duties in March 2020 and are now living in California.
They made a set of astonishing claims about the royals in their TV interview, including racism accusations.
Buckingham Palace made clear the Royal Family did not agree with all of the Sussexes’ version of events, saying that “some recollections may vary”.
