Prince Harry is "upset" he can't fly over from the US to join his family at Balmoral for their annual summer trip, it has been claimed.
Prince William and Kate Middleton arrived along with their kids at the royal estate in Aberdeenshire on Friday, where they saw the Queen and Prince Philip for the first time in months.
But while the Duke of Sussex is understood to be "frustrated" that he's stuck in California due to the coronavirus pandemic, wife Meghan Markle is reportedly more content.
"[She] doesn’t feel like she’s missing out," an insider told InTouch Weekly.
"She’s been too busy decorating their new Montecito mansion."
Back in March, the Sussexes accepted an invitation to the highland castle for the late summer reunion, but Covid-19 hampered their plans, the Sunday Times previously reported.
It comes after news Harry, 35, is set to miss the high-profile King Power Royal Charity Polo Day at the end of September.
He and William, 38, have taken part in the event - which raises millions for charity - for the past 15 years.
Harry's absence has further fuelled rumours of a rift between the two brothers.
However, on Saturday, in a Zoom call to mark Rugby League's 125th birthday, the duke said that only coronavirus has stopped him from returning to the UK.
In the Zoom quiz of players, coaches and volunteers from the sport, he also vowed to fly home for the Rugby League World Cup next year.
Speaking from his Santa Barbara mansion, The Duke of Sussex said: "We've got a whole Rugby League world cup coming next year.
"I definitely plan on coming back. I would have been back already had it not been for Covid."
Harry and Meghan's move into their Sh1.6 billion (£11.1 million) nine-bed pad in Montecito, Santa Barbara, saw them take out a Sh1 billion (£7.25m) mortgage after getting some financial help from Prince Charles.
The property also includes a library, cinema, gym, spa and sauna - as well as 16 bathrooms.
A source told InTouch Weekly Harry prefers his new neighbourhood to Los Angeles, where the pair initially lived on arriving in the US.
"Harry doesn’t know the area well at all, but so far so good," the source said.
"Santa Barbara is more his scene than L.A. … He has the freedom and space he needs. Harry was extremely unhappy in L.A."
