Prince Andrew<\/a> and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson <\/a>have reportedly joined King Charles at Balmoral for the royals’ annual summer getaway – despite humiliating claims in a brand new book.<\/p>\n

The disgraced Duke of York is said to be staying with Fergie at the seven-bedroom Craigowan Lodge on the Balmoral estate, which was a favourite place to stay of the late Queen’s.<\/a><\/p>\n

It comes after a biography called Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the Yorks’ by Andrew Lownie, which hit shelves last week, delved into the private life of Andrew, depicting him as sex obsessed, a “useful idiot” and easy prey for Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, research found that the majority of the public would back the removal of his York dukedom, as well as his princely title. At Christmas<\/a>, Andrew and Fergie stayed away from royal celebrations in Sandringham following the revelation of Andrew’s links to an alleged Chinese spy.<\/p>\n

However, a royal insider told The Sun<\/a> of Andrew’s summer getaway: “The Balmoral invitation is a huge show of support.” It is believed Andrew and Fergie are set to be joined by their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and their children.<\/p>\n

It comes as it is reported the Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a> and their three children are set to visit Balmoral, as are the Duke and Duchess of Edinbrugh, Edward and Sophie, and their children.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the King officially kicked off his Balmoral visit<\/a>, where he is expected to stay for three weeks, with a military ceremony.<\/p>\n

Charles arrived at the Aberdeenshire castle in his state Bentley and inspected regimental mascot Corporal Cruachan IV, a Shetland pony, as it stood with handler Corporal Rory Stewart<\/a> as the monarch inspected his Royal Guard.<\/p>\n

A Guard of Honour was held by Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland<\/a> (SCOTS) to officially welcome the King to Balmoral, although he attended a church service there on Sunday in a private capacity.<\/p>\n

After the ceremony, there was a performance from the Pipes and Drums, formed by soldiers from across the regiment, including from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Battalions, in a display of pageantry which was closely linked to this year’s Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.<\/p>\n

Charles is the Colonel in Chief of The Royal Regiment of Scotland, and wore his relatively new King Charles<\/a> III tartan, which was designed on the date of his coronation, May 6 2023, and is restricted for the exclusive use of the Royal Family<\/a> members.<\/p>\n

The King greeted tourists and holidaymakers from France, the Netherlands and Germany in temperatures which reached 23C.<\/p>\n
