Leaders of the UK’s devolved nations will travel to Windsor Castle for the meal with the monarch on Wednesday.
Some of the leaders will reportedly stay overnight at the castle and enjoy a royal breakfast the following morning, according to .
The stay overnight led the broadcaster to dub the evening a “sleepover”, adding it will be viewed as King Charles unifying the UK’s leaders.
It is believed Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill and the territory’s Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly will attend along with Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney.

Prime Minister Sir Keir is thought not likely to stay the night though the other three leaders are believed to have been invited to do so.
It is not yet known if the First Minister of Wales, Eluned Morgan, is going to join the King.
The presence of Ms O’Neil, who has been Vice President of Sinn Féin since 2018, could anger some among her republican party.
Elements of Mr Swinney’s may also be upset by the visit as some within the party want an independent Scotland to become a republic.
Mr Swinney, however, has insisted Scotland would retain the monarchy if the country were to gain independence.

News of the dinner comes after Downing Street was forced to deny it had dragged the King into politics after on Monday.
Charles took the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister on a visit to a Cornish development he inspired.
The joint trip came days before Sir Keir is expected to set out further measures as part of a pledge to build 1.5 million homes ahead of the next election.
King Charles, Sir Keir and Ms Rayner carried out three engagements in Nansledan, a 540-acre extension to the seaside town of Newquay.
The visit is understood to have followed conversations about housing over the past few months between Charles and Sir Keir, during which the Nansledan project was mentioned.
Asked if making the visit ahead of the announcement risked the King being dragged into politics, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman replied: “No.”
