Prince Harry and King Charles<\/a> have been at the top of the royal news cycle in recent weeks after the Duke of Sussex<\/a> reunited with his father<\/a> during a trip to the U.K. But on Tuesday, September 23, it was Prince William’s turn for some private time with The King. According to the Daily Mail<\/a>, the Prince of Wales has once again made the journey north for a one-on-one father\/son retreat with King Charles in Scotland, marking the third year the pair have carved out time for the tradition.<\/p>\n

In photos published by the newspaper, Prince William<\/a> is seen arriving in Aberdeen, Scotland via private jet after spending the day with the Princess of Wales<\/a> in Southport, England<\/a>. A royal source told the outlet that Prince William traveled to Balmoral for “an informal few days with his father” and that the Princess of Wales is understood to have stayed home with Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.<\/p>\n

The source added that their “mini break” was “not diarised with senior staff, but set aside to chat as sovereign and heir.”<\/p>\n

Their meeting comes after a busy few weeks for the Royal Family. Following Prince Harry’s reunion with his dad, the Royal Family said goodbye to the Duchess of Kent at her funeral<\/a>, and the Prince and Princess of Wales joined King Charles<\/a> and Queen Camilla<\/a> to host an official state visit<\/a> for Donald and Melania Trump.<\/p>\n

But just days after the trip\u2014and its lavish state banquet<\/a>\u2014a new email from Sarah Ferguson<\/a> to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> was leaked, putting the Duke and Duchess of York under even more scrutiny. It’s been reported that Prince William and King Charles differ on how to handle the situation with the Yorks, with the Prince of Wales taking a harder stance than his father.<\/p>\n

“William feels even more strongly than The King that Andrew and Fergie are an embarrassment and will be urging his father to act,” a source told the Daily Mail<\/a> earlier this week. No doubt it’s a topic the two will discuss during their father\/son bonding time at Balmoral.<\/p>\n
