Days after Prince Philip passed away, Prince William and Prince Harry released statements (within minutes of each other) memorializing their grandfather. William\u2019s statement was self-centered and weird, while Harry\u2019s statement was warm and authentic. In Harry\u2019s statement, he referenced his grandfather as \u201cmaster of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right \u2019til the end.\u201d<\/em> It was well known that Philip loved nothing more than grilling for his family in Balmoral, which is probably the closest he and QEII ever got to \u201cnormal family life.\u201d I find it interesting that Harry was the one to reference Philip as \u201cmaster of the barbecue,\u201d because guess who is trying to make that happen for himself?<\/p>\n Prince William is becoming king of the grill \u2014 like his late grandfather Prince Philip. He and wife Kate arrived at Balmoral in the past few days to join the King, Queen and other royals for their traditional annual retreat. And sources say William is taking on barbecue duties, previously well guarded by Philip until his death in 2021.<\/p>\n Prince Philip was dubbed the \u201cmaster of the grill\u201d, while the late Queen did the washing up and prepared the salad. He even had a trailer built to carry barbecue gear around the Scottish estate.<\/p>\n A source said: \u201cWilliam is willingly taking on the role. His kids love barbecues and they have been mixing with all their cousins on the estate. He remembers only too well how much Philip loved taking charge.\u201d<\/p>\n King Charles said in a tribute following his father\u2019s death: \u201cHe adored barbecuing and he turned that into an interesting art form. And if I ever tried to do it, he\u2019d say, \u2018Go away!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n His Majesty has invited all of his siblings, their children and grandchildren to continue the Queen\u2019s long tradition of hosting at Balmoral in the summer. Prince Harry and wife Meghan are the only ones not attending. A source said: \u201cHarry is really missing out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From The Sun]<\/p>\n Can\u2019t wait until Prince William rage-shrieks at the grill and attacks someone with a slotted spatula. The Windsors are definitely leaving the impression that Harry\u2019s absence is THE talk of the Balmoral gathering, which is odd because\u2026 the Windsors have also made it abundantly clear that they didn\u2019t invite him. For all of this talk about \u201coh, of course the whole family is welcome, just as in QEII\u2019s day,\u201d they made a point of not inviting Harry or Meghan or their children. Anyway, I don\u2019t even believe William is grilling anything. He\u2019s just doing what he always does – taking credit for someone else\u2019s work. <\/p>\n The Sun even did a \u201cmock-up\u201d photo. The invisible contract, huh.<\/p>\n I'm screaming. pic.twitter.com\/ZphJf2np4n<\/p>\n — Meredith (@TheMereDish) August 26, 2023<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Cover Images.<\/small><\/p>\n\n
