Boris Johnson‘s convoy has today been seen arriving at Balmoral ahead of the Prime Minister’s scheduled meeting with the Queen.
The Conservative leader, along with wife Carrie and their son Wilfred, are due to visit the Scottish royal estate this weekend.
The meeting will be the first time the Monarch has been introduced to the Prime Minister’s 16-month-old son.
It will also be the first time both Mr and Mrs Johnson have visited Balmoral in more than two years.
The couple last visited the Queen’s royal retreat in 2019. Their trip last year was cancelled due to Covid.
Despite both Mr Johnson and the 95-year-old Monarch both being double vaccinated, courtiers reportedly raised concerns about the meeting.
One royal source had said: ‘The visit is still due to go ahead but, frankly, we’d rather it wasn’t.’
But a courtier later told the Daily Mail: ‘They have taken all Covid precautions and it will be very safe.’

The Prime Minister met the Queen in June for their first face-to-face meeting since the start of the Covid pandemic.
After their meeting at Buckingham Palace in June, a video was released of her telling him she had just seen ‘poor man’ Matt Hancock and he was ‘full of . . .’ before Boris interrupted her to say ‘beans’.
The Queen has continued to carry out engagements this year, despite Covid and the death of her beloved husband Prince Phillip, aged 99, in April.
She last met both Mr and Mrs Johnson in June when the pair greeted her for the G7 Summit.
Her Majesty appeared in high-spirits – even cracking a joke with world leaders by asking ‘Are you supposed to be looking as if you’re enjoying yourself?’ as readied themselves for a photograph.
The Prime Minister and his wife, whom he married in May, visited Scotland last summer despite not being able to go to Balmoral.
They camped next to a remote cottage in the Applecross peninsula on the Scottish coast.
However, they had to cut their holiday short after their location was revealed in the Press.
At the time of their last meeting with the Queen, in 2019, there was consternation among more conservative courtiers as Carrie and Boris were not yet married.

Unmarried couples have traditionally been unable to share a room at the royal retreat in Scotland.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did not visit Balmoral until months after they were married.
Last year, the Queen and the late Duke of Edinburgh spent six weeks on the 50,000-acre estate.
She has spent much of her time at Windsor Castle. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson declined to comment on the Prime Minister’s visit to Balmoral when asked by MailOnline.
