King Charles III has extended a warm invitation to Princess Beatrice’s nine-year-old stepson, Christopher Woolf Mapelli Mozzi, known affectionately as Wolfie, to join the Royal Family’s cherished summer gathering at Balmoral Castle, sources reveal.

The inclusion of Wolfie, the son of Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and his ex-partner, architect Dara Huang, marks a notable moment of unity at the private Aberdeenshire estate. Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan’s children, Lilibet and Archie, remain absent from the Scottish retreat, staying with their parents in Montecito, California.

Earlier this week, King Charles and Queen Camilla began their annual summer holiday in the Scottish Highlands.

The King carried out an inspection of the Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland, outside the castle gates.

In addition, the Queen was spotted shopping in Ballater alongside her daughter, Laura Lopes, and her granddaughter, Eliza.

Their Majesties’ trip to Balmoral was ever so slightly delayed due to their attendance at the VJ celebrations in Staffordshire last week.

The couple have already been joined in Scotland by Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, who are staying at Craigowan Lodge, located half a mile away from the main castle.

It was understood that their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, would soon be joining the Duke and Duchess of York with their respective families.

The Mail has now reported that nine-year-old Wolfie is visiting the private Aberdeenshire retreat with Beatrice, 37, and his father Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 41.

Wolfie recently joined his father and stepmother at the Lionesses’ victory parade along The Mall outside Buckingham Palace.

Now, he has been invited to the Royal Family’s private Scottish holiday at Balmoral.

“He will enjoy a wonderful holiday of outdoor activities such as wild swimming and cycling,” a family friend told the outlet.

Wolfie has already been abroad with his mother, Dara Huang, a US-born architect and TV presenter.

The mother of one shared several clips and photographs from their holiday in the Philippines.

Ms Huang and Edoardo split in 2018, and the father-of-three is now married to the elder Princess of York.

They share two daughters: Sienna, three, and six-month-old Athena.
