It comes after the Duke's behaviour was panned in Andrew Lownie's book Entitled — and nine months after he was banned from Christmas at Sandringham amid links to an alleged Chinese spy. An insider said: 'The Balmoral invitation is a huge show of support.' Prince William and Kate and their three children are also due to attend, along with Prince Edward and wife Sophie and their two kids. The summer break at the Scottish estate is the only time except at Christmas that the entire Royal Family get together. Charles and Queen Camilla, there for the next three weeks, will also be visited by PM Sir Keir Starmer next month. Last week, The Sun revealed Andy had the hump with speed bumps being built around his Royal Lodge, in Windsor. He angrily asked one workman: 'What the f*** are you doing now?'

Gogglebox star Ellie Warner's tearful confession about young son
Ellie Warner expressed her heart-breaking statement after a family holiday in Spain. One of Gogglebox's fan favourites Ellie Warner has received floods of support from fans following an emotional family update. She shared a heartfelt confession about her two-year-old son on Instagram this weekend. Ellie first appeared on the Channel 4 programme in 2015 alongside sister Izzi, and the pair quickly became audience favourites. The Leeds sisters have left audiences howling with their witty remarks over the years. Beyond her television career, Ellie enjoys a loving relationship with partner Nat Eddleston, with whom she has been romantically involved for several years. The couple share two-year-old son Ezra. One snap saw Ellie, Nat and Ezra together in a family selfie, whilst another photograph showed the TV star soaking up the sun. Ellie also shared endearing pictures of her young son enjoying ice lollies. In her post, Ellie revealed her conflicted feelings as their Spanish break came to an end. She penned: "Had the most amazing holiday in Spain I shed a tear on the morning of the last day because Ezra isn't going to be this little again next time we go away. Who even am I? ! I'm turning into aunty Jayne." Ellie's fans took to the comments to offer their encouragement. One supporter wrote: "You have amazing memories though, and great photos. It is sad when our babies grow up!" Someone else commented: "What a lovely family, Ezra is so cute. And you are looking amazing Ellie, enjoy every minute of him growing up it goes by in a flash." A third person remarked: "Aw looks Ezra had the time of his life xx super cutie." Ellie and Izzi last graced our screens in May when series 25 drew to a close. And their fellow cast members Dave and Shirley Griffiths have recently disclosed that the fresh series will arrive on our televisions much earlier than anticipated. Within the Instagram comments beneath a photograph of Dave and Shirley, one admirer questioned them about when filming would commence for Gogglebox's upcoming series. They enquired: "When you starting filming for gogglebox again @dave_shirl_gogglebox.?". Dave and Shirley subsequently responded: "end of August mate won't be long." The supporter replied: "Ah mate I cannot wait." In other Gogglebox news, a Scots couple were recently axed from the show. Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle announced their departure from the Channel 4 series, saying they were not asked back for the upcoming episodes. The Glaswegian duo made their Gogglebox debut at the beginning of 2022 as the first Scottish cast members to star on the programme in over six years. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Liam Gallagher continues to slam Edinburgh Council as Oasis take over Dublin
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Despite Oasis leaving the capital last week, it seems we are still on the Gallagher's minds, well more specifically, Edinburgh Council officials are. Liam let loose on officials after they had singled out the band's fans as "drunk", "fat" and "old" in secret safety briefings and he has continued on his tirade in Dublin. Bosses claimed that most of the 200,000 music-lovers attending the reunion shows across the three days were 'rowdy' 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room' and will drink to 'medium to high intoxication," the Record reports. During each night of Oasis' epic three-day spectacular at Murrayfield in the capital, Liam slammed council chiefs over the remarks. Now, the Oasis frontman has bashed the council once again but this time during their shows at Croke Park in Dublin over the weekend. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sentstraight to your messages. Liam called out the council by shouting, "Edinburgh City Council", before cutting himself off and pointing to the his head and then the crowd. His brother, Noel Gallagher, chimed in, however, adding: "Four billion f***ing pound they've had." The comments were in relation to Liam's comments on Tuesday August 12, Oasis final performance at Murrayfield, where he said: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid. "You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh ugly mates. "Still waiting for our apology, bring it on down, you c****". This comes after his remarks on Friday August 8 where the singer demanded an apology in a sweary rant at Murrayfield - calling council officials "f****** s****". Then, during the following day's show, he said that Edinburgh Council had "the cheek" to make comments about his fans. Last week, Council Leader Jane Meagher responded to the Gallagher brother's put-downs. She said: 'I think Liam Gallagher had every right to be annoyed by what he read – I would be too. Sign up for Edinburgh Live newsletters for more headlines straight to your inbox 'It's clear that the many thousands of people who flocked to Murrayfield to catch Oasis's spectacular and highly anticipated reunion shows had a great time – and I want to congratulate the band on their triumphant return to the city." Fans who successfully snapped up tickets for the Oasis 25 dates back in September 2024 had waited 332 days to see the band's first Scottish dates in 16 years since the Gallagher brothers began a well-publicised and long running feud that split the band.
