Tragedy: Prince Harry was involved in an “ACCIDENT” while traveling on the road, and there are concerns he may…
Prince Harry is reunited with Meghan Markle today after a flying visit to Balmoral to pay his respects to his grandmother the Queen – as it was claimed the Sussexes will stay in Britain for another ten days until the state funeral.
The Duke of Sussex had grief etched on his face as he was swept into the grounds of Windsor Castle this afternoon after losing a race against time to get to his grandmother’s bedside before she died yesterday.
King Charles III went to Buckingham Palace to meet fellow mourners this afternoon where he shook hands and accepted their condolences to cries of ‘God save the King’ and impromptu renditions of the national anthem. One woman kissed him on the cheek. He also inspected flowers and tributes left for his late mother at the gates before entering the palace.
Harry’s brother the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge left Balmoral this afternoon, and is travelling back to Windsor to be with his wife Kate and their children ahead of the Accession Council tomorrow, where his father will be officially proclaimed King. The event at St James’s Palace will be broadcast live on TV for the first time.
William will be there to support his father as a member of the Privy Council, but his younger brother will remain at Frogmore Cottage.
Harry landed at Heathrow this lunchtime after jumping on an early morning BA flight where he comforted an airport worker with a reassuring hand on her shoulder after she gave him her condolences.
He left Balmoral after 12 hours mourning his grandmother with his father and brother – but despite the brevity of the visit, the Sussexes are not expected to return to California until after the state funeral, currently expected to be ten days from now on Monday, September 19.
The Duke of Sussex was the last royal to arrive at the Aberdeenshire castle last night and the first to leave this morning.
Today the world mourns the death of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch as her son accedes to the throne. The Queen’s coffin – draped in the Royal Standard with a wreath of her favourite flowers on top – is believed to be at rest in the ballroom of Balmoral, where she spent every summer with her beloved Prince Philip.
