The insider stated that in the previous two weeks, Her Majesty has been delighted to entertain “family guests” at her Scottish estate, including “a large number of great-grandchildren.”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with their children Princes George and Louis, and Princess Charlotte, arrived last week. The Earl and Countess of Wessex, along with their children Lady Louise and Viscount James, have also visited.
Additionally, it is reported that the Prince of Wales visits the Queen daily.
According to the source, Prince Andrew was also in Balmoral, eager to discuss with the Queen the possibility of carving out a new professional role within the Royal Family.
A second insider said that the Queen’s mobility has changed during the past few weeks, resulting in a significant increase in her resting time.
The 96-year-old will presumably confess that she will be unable to fly to London to appoint a new Prime Minister. It was believed that the Queen would visit Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace to exercise her “personal prerogative” — inviting a new leader to establish a government.

In July, it was claimed that Her Majesty asked the couple and their two children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, to stay at her Scottish residence and instructed royal staff to prepare.
It was stated that the Sussexes would not be required to spend time with Charles and William.
An insider at Balmoral previously told The Sun and Page Six, “Staff have been instructed to expect the entire royal family, including Harry, Meghan, and their children.” They are making preparations for the Sussexes.
Another insider reportedly stated, “I would be stunned if they showed there.”
Since then, however, The Telegraph reported on Sunday that sources believe a visit to the Queen is not planned, though there may be further unscheduled engagements.
In April, when Harry met his grandmother at Windsor Castle, he remarked, ‘It was fantastic.’ It was a pleasure to observe her in relative seclusion. It was a pleasure to spend time with her, as she is in excellent condition. “She always has a fantastic sense of humor with me, and I’m just making sure she’s safe and surrounded by the appropriate people. Meghan and I shared tea with her, so it was a pleasure to reconnect with her. We have a really special bond; we discuss topics that she cannot discuss with anyone else.
Royal author Tom Bower told MailOnline at the time that he believed Harry’s remark was meant at Sir Edward as well as the Duke’s father Prince Charles and brother Prince William, with whom he has an ongoing conflict.
During an April interview with NBC, the Duke of Sussex appeared to deliver a veiled warning to those closest to the Queen, stating that he wanted to ensure his grandmother was ‘protected’ and had the ‘proper people around her.’
In London in July 2018, the Queen stands on the Buckingham Palace balcony with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The author of the recently published book Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors is Mr. Bower. Tom Bower, author of the Sunday Times No. 1 Bestseller, told MailOnline, “On “protecting” the Queen, he is not only targeting Charles and William, but also her private secretary, Edward Young.” Harry’s complete requests have been rejected, and he is now attacking anybody who stand in the way of the Sussexes’ self-promotion.
To improve his credibility in the United States and for Netflix, he must feign a particular relationship with the Queen. I do not believe that the British populace would allow Harry and Meghan to stand on the balcony. It would be self-destructive for the monarchy to permit their entry. Therefore, I do not believe they will arrive.
The Telegraph’s royal expert Camilla Tominey reported that a palace observer joked that Harry might consider his friends Oprah Winfrey as the ‘new press secretary,’ Ellen DeGeneres as the ‘head of personal protection,’ and Sir Elton John as the new ‘Mistress of the Robes’ as the ‘right kind of people’

But Prince Harry stated this week, “I want it to be a day full with recollections of her amazing work and admiration for how she achieved it.”
“I want it to be a day for sharing my mother’s spirit with my family, especially my children, who I wish could have met her. I strive every day to make her proud.
