The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not visited the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh at Balmoral this summer, as they and baby Archie skip the Royal Family’s traditional retreat.

The Sussexes, who have instead taken a holiday to Ibiza and stayed in the south of France with Sir Elton John, have no plans to join their family in the Scottish countryside this year, it is understood.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three children were seen flying on a budget airline for a weekend at Balmoral, with the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall also joining the Queen on her Sunday visit to church.

The Duke of York, Earl and Countess of Wessex and their two children, Princess Anne and Sir Timothy Laurence and Peter and Autumn Phillips have also been seen at the estate, where the family come and go annually to spend time with the Queen and Duke.

The Sun reported the Sussex’s “snub” to the Queen, with sources claiming they declined an invitation because four-month-old Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was too young for the visit.
