Is this finally the end of the line for them?

[retrocop]

I would imagine the pair of them would have snubbed an invitation in any case. If not him certainly her.

The Scottish Daily Express has a slightly different take on the situation:

she could go and stay at the Diss Travelodge in Aberdeen and wait for him overnight, or even better a couple of nighrts, while he goes up the River Dee...by canoe? and attend the family bashing-up. They offer free parking but there would be no bar for her to prop up. For that it would have to be an extra fifteen scottish poundeeroos up at the Marriott Courtyard and, thinking about it, Prince H may well have a Marriot Card after his jaunts to his local Ritz-Carlton to escape her clutches.

[Kardashev]

We are getting pretty bored over here too. Funny that Prince Andrew somehow seems to be heading back towards being almost in favor.

I hope so Naomi.

K, PA is trying. Very trying!

I read about two weeks ago that HRH had extended an open invite to Harry and family to join the family at Balmoral this summer and they had said no. I think H and M need to be the ones to accept the invite and bring the kids. They can leave them with family and then attend Invictus games. Much safer for the kids

[zebo]

They snubbed the late Queen when she was alive, they could have made the trip to Balmoral while she was alive as they were in the UK. The truth is probably that they have been made aware of the family gathering but lacking a gold plated invitation she decided for them not to attend. Her mouthpieces are the ones insinuating they've been snubbed.
The rest of the family must be mortified, not! They will be able to speak without fear of ScoobyDoo spinning lies.

And I think that is the big problem. You just cant have people round you that are likley to be recording you or taking notes (and likely goading reactions) who will then go off to Optra or write another book.

[Barsel]

Personally, I don't believe we will see Meghan and the invisible children in this country for a very long time, if ever.
Balmoral isn't the kind of place where a 'Hollywood star' would want to take a holiday as I believe hunting, shooting and fishing is not her thing, it's just not glamourous enough darling.

[andy-hughes]

They have not been invited, that's not the same as being 'snubbed'.

William as heir and Prince Of Wales would be expected to attend.

I am unsure if all of Anne's and Edward's children are invited -that would be the equivalent of Harry being asked. If not, then it's a small affair with senior royals only, H & M are not senior, so not invited.

[Barsel]

I wouldn't be surprised if Zara and Mike, Beatrice and Eugenie, Edward and Sophie and their daughter are there, and I hope that if Andrew is there, then so will Fergie. The Queen was very fond of her and I'm sure she would approve if she could.

[perseverer]

Read the two links - "insiders say" - "according to the Daily Mail" - "it is reported" etc.

None of them actually say "We don't really know what the situation is but it does not stop us coming up with a story having another go at the Sussexes because we know they are unpopular with a large proportion of the country."

[Bobbisox1]

I’d like to see a televised memorial of our late Queen , she meant so much to so many

[naomi24]

The link says King Charles and Queen Camilla will lead tribute's to the monarch's mother and that all the royals are likely to be up in Scotland so I wouldn't be surprised if the memorial is televised. I can't imagine the King would have snubbed Harry and Meghan - the royal family are far too aware of protocol for that and, I think, very conscious of public interest in this whole sorry saga so probably want to be seen to be doing the right thing. I think it more likely the Sussex's have snubbed the royals. I don't think Meghan is at all welcome these days and she knows it.

[smurfchops]

I for one wouldn’t miss them. At all. Quite surprised that Andrew has been invited, is he moving out of Royal Lodge Windsor as has been requested, I wonder??

[naomi24]

I don’t know why anyone is surprised that Andrew is going. He’s the queen’s son. He’s entitled to be there.

[perseverer]

You could read the BBC's slightly less sensationalised report
Queen Elizabeth: No public event for anniversary of late monarch's death

[naomi24]

I could - and I will - now I know it exists, perseverer. Thank you.

[johnny.5]

so was I

[Barsel]

I can understand there not being a public event, but I thought they would spend the time together at Balmoral reminiscing about the Queen and remembering her very fondly. I can see them now, some in kilts, sitting by a roaring fire, glass in hand, celebrating her life.
I hope the papers have got it wrong.
