As the British royal family gears up for the annual Holyrood Week celebrations in Scotland, all eyes are on the notable absence of the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.
Reports suggest that Princess Kate, who has been undergoing chemotherapy, may not join the royal family for the traditional week-long visit.
During a discussion on GB News, royal commentator Cameron highlighted the significance of Holyrood Week, which features key events such as the traditional ceremony of the keys and a grand ceremony at Saint Giles Cathedral. However, Cameron expressed uncertainty regarding Princess Kate's attendance, noting, "We're not sure about the Princess of Wales yet, but it's getting very close to the traditional summer break, where they will go up to Balmoral Castle."
The visit to Balmoral Castle this year holds particular significance as it marks the first time members of the public will be allowed to tour the historic estate. Host Isabel, reacting to Cameron's remarks, humorously commented on the Royal Family's often interrupted stays at Balmoral, referencing past events such as the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and former Prime Minister Liz Truss's visit.
King Charles, who will lead the celebrations at the Palace of Holyrood House, is also facing health challenges. Amid his ongoing cancer treatment, there are concerns about his ability to travel. It has been speculated that the monarch might appoint Britain's new Prime Minister in Scotland if he is not well enough to return to London.
Royal commentator Cameron Walker added, "If King Charles is well enough to travel, the traditional trip will be cut short for him."
As the royal family prepares for this significant week in Scotland, the absence of key figures like Princess Kate underscores the ongoing personal challenges faced by its members. The nation watches closely, wishing them well amidst their public duties and private battles.
