King Charles to Mark Queen Elizabeth’s Death Anniversary at Balmoral

This August, the royal family will be traveling to Scotland for their annual summer holiday at Balmoral, as they have done for many years.

However, this year's visit will hold a special significance for the family as it marks the anniversary of 's passing on September 8th last year.

It was at Balmoral that the Queen spent her final days, enjoying the place she loved most.

During his holiday in Scotland, King Charles, who will be accompanied by Queen , will also commemorate his mother's death and his own accession to the throne.

They will be staying at Bourke Hall, their own property on the Scottish estate, and will use Balmoral solely for official guests.

While the castle will not be empty, as other members of the family will be staying there over the next couple of months, it will be the first time since the 19th century that a monarch will not be in residence.

Most of the royals are expected to visit Balmoral at some point during this time, with the exception of and .

On a day in August, it is likely that 's final wishes will be revealed to the closest members of the royal family in secret.

However, on the official anniversary of her death, September 8th, the sacred ceremony will not be held in public to ensure the secrecy of the Queen's will.

According to a source, Queen Elizabeth left a last will and a few inheritances to her descendants.

However, due to the current situation, Meghan and Harry will not be able to present their case or hear the final verdict.

Additionally, a decision regarding ' title has been officially implemented and changed on paper.

This decision comes into effect one year after the Queen's death.

' official title is now His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.

However, he only holds this HRH title because of the Queen's intervention.

In 1917, King George V established new guidelines regarding royal titles, specifying who could have them and who would be excluded based on their place in the line of succession.

Great-grandchildren were not included in these guidelines.

This posed a problem when Prince George was born, as he should not have been entitled to a prince's title despite being the future king.

The Queen intervened and ensured that George received a title, extending the change to all of Kate and William's children.

This means that even though Charlotte and Louis are further down the line of succession and unlikely to ever ascend to the throne, they are still recognized as prince and princess.

However, the Queen did not make this change for and 's son, which has caused some controversy and confusion following their interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The relationship between Harry and his father, as well as his brother , has yet to be repaired since the damaging claims made in his memoir “Spare.”

Visitors expected to join the royal family at Balmoral include the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, along with their teenage children Louise and James.

Princess Anne and her husband, Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence, will also be in attendance, as well as her son Peter Phillips and daughter Zara Tyndall.

In conclusion, the royal family's visit to Balmoral this August holds great significance as they commemorate Queen Elizabeth's death anniversary and King Charles' accession to the throne.

It will be a time of reflection and remembrance for the family, as they gather in the place where the Queen spent her final days.
