Overview

• The Prince of Wales flew to Scotland on September 23 for a private stay with King Charles at Balmoral, with photos showing him arriving at Aberdeen Airport.
• Reports describe the Scotland trip as the third consecutive year of informal father–son “mini‑breaks” set aside to talk privately.
• The visit follows the King’s early‑September face‑to‑face with Prince Harry in London, their first in about 19 months, widely reported as lasting roughly 53–55 minutes.
• Harry’s spokesman called quotes about his view of the meeting “categorically false” and said the framed photo he handed over did not feature the Duke and Duchess, pushing back on leaked details.
• Royal sources reiterate there are no plans for a ‘half‑in, half‑out’ return for Harry under the Sandringham Agreement, while insiders dismiss talk of a Charles–William rift and say they remain aligned.
