King Charles has extended an olive branch to Prince Andrew by inviting him to join the Firm at Balmoral.
The 74-year-old monarch looks set to smooth out relations with his brother by allowing the Duke and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson to visit the Highland castle.
The decision comes after Andrew appeared to win the battle to remain at the seven-bedroom Royal Lodge in Windsor.
King Charles previously hoped to move his brother to Frogmore Cottage nearby.

However, the Sussexes were served with an eviction notice earlier this year following their decision to quit royal life.
Prince Andrew, 63, drove himself to the 50,000-acre estate on Royal Deeside.
The Duchess of York will join her former husband after flying to Aberdeen Airport.

PAAndrew and Sarah will stay at the seven-bedroom Craigowan Lodge.
It has been suggested by Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and their families.
An insider at the castle told The Daily Express: “It’s not a snub to be staying at the lodge rather than the main house.
“It is delightful and the Duke and Duchess can relax totally. It’s only a mile to the big house where family dinners and get-togethers will take place.

The Duchess of York will arrive at Balmoral shortly after undergoing treatment for her breast cancer diagnosis.
Fergie was treated at King Edward VII hospital, a private clinic in central London.
A spokesperson for the 63-year-old said: “The Duchess wants to express her immense gratitude to all the medical staff who have supported her in recent days.
“She is also hugely thankful to the staff involved in the mammogram which identified her illness, which was otherwise symptom-free, and believes her experience underlines the importance of regular screening.”
