Quick Glance: Harry and Meghan Face Conundrum Over Balmoral Invitation

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could find themselves in a complicated situation, according to an expert, if King Charles invites them to join the Royal Family at Balmoral.

It is expected that King Charles will extend an invitation to Harry and Meghan to visit the Scottish retreat this year, as it is customary for the monarch to invite family members during the holiday season.

Royal expert and author Tom Quinn suggests that an invitation to the retreat could present a 'difficult' situation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

King Charles has reportedly extended an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan by 'hinting' at a visit to Balmoral this summer to improve relationships within the Royal family.

Quick Glance: Squatters Cause Chaos in Gordon Ramsay's London Pub

Gordon Ramsay's eatery, York & Albany, was taken over by squatters as the celebrity chef was in the process of finalizing a deal with new partners.
