Experts and commentators alike have just pointed out what shot Prince Harry has to ‘confirm’ his Scotland summer trip to see the King and according to royal author Ingrid Seward its pretty much a done deal if one critical aspect can be confirmed.

This has been shared during the expert’s interview alongside The Mirror.

During it, she explained that the chance an invite might reach the Sussexes’ is if they decide to agree to a few royal rules.

Regarding this prospective meeting itself, she was also quoted saying, “The only place that really I think they could meet if the King is to get to know or at least see his grandchildren, is at Balmoral.”

“It’s the only time the King has time and the Sussexes could be accommodated there because there’s lots of cottages on the Estate.”

“Harry and Meghan don't have to stay in the castle, although of course they would expect to, but that's fine,” she also added. “They would make sure, obviously, that William and Kate weren't there at the same time. So it's not that difficult, and it can be done fairly under the radar.”

In Ms Seward’s eyes such a plan would for sure require meticulous levels of planning, not just in terms of royal diaries but in day-to-day affairs. In addition “I think the King would pick very carefully who was going to be there at the same time, and it certainly wouldn’t be William and Kate. If it were, I’d be absolutely astounded,” she added.

She hypothesized the King’s openhearted welcome of the Sussexes too and said, “Charles would get to say, ‘Darling boy, of course come to Balmoral’, and then because he’s the King, he could let his aides deal with everything else.”

But for that they’d “probably have to make them sign confidentiality agreements and all kinds of stuff” as the expert puts it, “but Charles doesn’t have to do it, he can sit there looking like the good guy.”

Moreover, “he has a private secretary and other staff to deal with all of the details. They’d have them buttoned up as much as you can button them up,” she pointed out too near the end. “There wouldn’t be all the drama surrounding security either because if Harry and his family are staying in a royal residence they’ll get full security.”
