W'Charles, 77, wore an ornate green cape adorned with glistening insignia and a white plumed hat as he joined Queen Camilla, 78, for the annual festivities, in which new Knights and Ladies are installed into the order by the Sovereign.William was seen smiling as he walked alongside Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, 62. The procession begins in the city's Signet Library and makes its way into the chapel before concluding at the cathedral.Afterwards, the royals attended a short reception and had lunch at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.The Daily Mail's Royal Editor also revealed that King Charles held a rare family dinner with senior royals in Scotland, ahead of the Order of the Thistle service. His Majesty is currently in Edinburgh for what is known as Royal Week, his annual visit to celebrate Scottish culture, community and achievements, and undertook a series of engagements in the capital with Queen Camilla on June 30. Later, they were joined by Prince William at the historic Palace of Holyroodhouse, the monarch's official residence north of the border, as well as other guests. The Princess Royal, and the Duke of Edinburgh were also with the King during the day.It was what is known in royal parlance as a 'dine and sleep', having dinner at the palace and staying over ahead of this morning's Order of the Thistle service, the annual celebration of the ancient Scottish order of chivalry which the King, Queen, Prince William and Prince Edward attended.Prince William – known as the Duke of Rothesay when in Scotland – was in Aberdeen during the afternoon to undertake an engagement on behalf of his Homewards initiative to combat homelessness and then travelled over to Edinburgh to spend the night with his father.Princess Anne and Prince Edward had joined their brother earlier at a garden party for local dignitaries and community stalwarts at the Gothic palace, which has served as the principle royal residence in Scotland since the 16th century and is steeped in centuries of royal and political intrigue.Private gatherings are not recorded on the Court Circular, the official record of royal engagements, but the Daily Mail has had confirmation that a dinner took place.Buckingham Palace declined to comment, and any discussions would remain within the four walls of the dining room. Any dinner, it must be stressed, would have been planned long in advance and the timing a coincidence.But with the drama surrounding Prince Harry's potential arrival in the UK this weekend – with or without his family – dominating royal news, and the ongoing issue of disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, there would have been plenty for all to discuss.

Now it has been reported that Prince Harry is considering flying Meghan and their children into the UK for less than 24 hours – as critics accused him of deploying his family as leverage in his escalating UK security row.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are already in Europe with Archie and Lilibet after plans for a five-day return to Britain together next week fell apart.After being denied a review of their 24/7 taxpayer-funded protection, Harry is still determined to bring them all back to Britain because he wants 'to give his children the opportunity to enjoy the UK.'But he insists he will not do so without what he calls ‘proportionate protective security’.One option under consideration is to fly Meghan and the children in and out of Britain in a single day from mainland Europe. They are believed to be staying at their new £6.3million villa in Portugal, where Princess Eugenie is a neighbour.Harry is said to be furious that his request for a review of their police protection was rejected ‘at the 11th hour’. He reportedly blames his father’s aides – the so-called ‘men in grey suits’ – who sit on the UK’s VIP security committee, Ravec.The prince is understood to have been told there is still ‘hope’ a meeting with the King could take place, with cancer-stricken Charles unlikely to reject an opportunity to see his grandchildren for the first time in four years.
