No formal instrument excludes Andrew from Balmoral — the "ban" is a diary entry, not a decree

No letters patent, Order in Council or household announcement excludes Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from Balmoral. Hello! Magazine reported on 26 July 2026 that a source close to the King told The Times his presence would raise "considerable sensitivities." Balmoral is a privately owned estate; the King needs no formal instrument to withhold an invitation.
