Rishi Sunak is set to head up to Balmoral Castle, Scotland, with his family next month to stay with King Charles.
The late Queen Elizabeth would typically head to her Scottish haven with her family in July and would extend the invite to the prime minister at the time, a tradition Charles is expected to continue.
The King is thought to be heading to the Aberdeenshire royal residence after August 16, when the estate closes to the public, and will remain there throughout September.
While he has sent an invite to the Royal Family in a bid to get the whole clan together, Charles has reportedly asked the Conservative leader and his family – as is tradition.
Speaking on the Daily Express’s Royal Round Up, royal correspondent Richard Palmer explained: “The Monarch, the Queen anyway, would normally have a few official visitors while she was up there as well.”
He continued: “It’s the sort of thing where the royal household would say ‘Oh it’s private time’ but you sort of think ‘Well, she’s just entertained the Prime Minister of Australia because it’s in the Court Circular, was that private or official?’
“I would guess that there will be a couple of visitors like that. Normally, the British Prime Minister would go up there for a weekend so… I wouldn’t be surprised [if that included his wife and children].”
The 43-year-old Prime Minister has two daughters, Krishna and Anoushka, with his wife, Akshata Murthy.
The i newspaper has reported that the Prime Minister will be travelling to the Monarch’s estate in Scotland for the bank holiday weekend at the end of August. Though neither No10 or the Palace has not yet confirmed this.
The Monarch and Prime Minister are expected to discuss a range of topics, including climate change commitments, the publication reported.
While on the vast estate, which boasts some 150 buildings, the Sunaks are expected to take part in a variety of activities from picnics and walks in the sweeping Highlands to fishing and grouse hunting.
Games of charades will most likely be on the cards as they have always been “nobly endured” by prime ministers in the past, according to the late Queen herself.
Several past prime ministers have ventured north for a short stay on the 50,000-acre estate.
But the trips appeared to have garnered a mixed response. Margaret Thatcher initially described the jaunts as “purgatory”, according to the Queen’s biographer Ben Pimlott.
Tony Blair was blown away by the entire experience, describing the weekends spent there with his wife Cherie as “a vivid combination of the intriguing, the surreal and the utterly freaky”.
Luckily, the stiff drinks he was given were “a blessing”, as they were the “true rocket fuel” needed to get him through the evening.
He wrote in his memoir: “Individually, it can be a little nerve-racking to be with them; en masse, all of them and just Cherie and me, well, you can imagine.”
