Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will also visit the castle next month, according to the Mail.

It is unclear whether other members of the Royal Family will travel to Balmoral in September.

It comes as Prince Andrew's fight to win back armed security worth £3m a year has been damaged by an "embarrassing" leak, according to a royal commentator.

The Duke of York has launched a bid to get his police protection back despite not being a working member of the Royal Family since 2019.

The royal has the backing of former Home Secretary Priti Patel.

Patel emailed one of King Charles's top aides suggesting a review of Andrew's current security arrangements should be considered.

However, the Conservative MP was forced to apologise to the King after the email was leaked.

Patel said: "It is disappointing that this correspondence has been leaked into the public domain and I apologise to His Majesty for the embarrassment and difficulties the publishing of this correspondence has caused."

Royal commentator Ingrid Seward criticised the way Patel approached the issue of Andrew's security.

Seward told The Sun: “The King will be deeply embarrassed by this. The issue is so controversial he won’t go anywhere near it.

"Ms Patel should have known he has no power over these decisions.

"Her meddling was deeply unwise and deeply unfair on The King and will damage Andrew’s cause, not help it.

"And the bottom line remains, why should the public pay £3million a year to protect a man who rarely leaves his home?"
