Overview

• Multiple outlets report William flew to Scotland on September 23 to see the King at Balmoral for private time, with Catherine and Queen Camilla not in attendance.
• The stay was not listed on official schedules and British press photographed William arriving in Aberdeen, according to Hello! magazine.
• Anonymous sources quoted by the Daily Mail characterize the trip as a brief “father‑and‑son mini‑break” for a few informal days together.
• Coverage suggests the pair could discuss responsibilities between monarch and heir, though no agenda has been confirmed, and reports note this is the third straight year for such a Balmoral pause.
• The visit follows a palace‑acknowledged meeting earlier this month in which Charles and Prince Harry spoke privately for about 50 minutes at Clarence House, and William and Harry did not meet during that trip.
