Prince William and Duchess Catherine arrived at Balmoral Castle with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis last week to spend time with the Queen and Prince Philip for the first in months.
And, while the Sussexes were invited and accepted the invitation for the family reunion - as reported by the Sunday Times back in March - the covid-19 pandemic has put a stop to their travel plans.
