Prince Harry too late to say goodbye to Queen

Members of the Royal Family rushed to be at the Queen ‘s side for her final hours Thursday, but Prince Harry did not get there in time.

Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were in England for a charitable event when doctors raised the alarm about the monarch’s health.

 

 

Harry cancelled his scheduled speech that event.

Prince Charles and Camilla, now King Charles and the Queen Consort, were at their own home in Scotland and travelled by helicopter to Balmoral to be with Charles’ mother.

The Daily Mail reports that Prince William, Prince Edward, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and Prince Andrew travelled to Balmoral together, while Princess Anne was already at Balmoral, having been in Scotland for various royal engagements.

Prince Harry last saw the Queen, his grandmother, in June, during the celebrations for her Platinum Jubilee.

At that time, he and the Duchess of Sussex introduced the monarch to her great-granddaughter Lilibet, who was named in the Queen’s honour.

Lilibet was her childhood nickname.

Sadly, the Duke of Sussex, who has often spoken of his closeness to his grandmother, landed at Aberdeen Airport after the announcement of the Queen’s death.

His wife Meghan did not accompany him to Scotland.

The Queen’s death was announced at 6.30 p.m. in London, and Harry arrived at Balmoral just before 8 p.m., according to the Daily Mail.

The Queen died peacefully only 17 months after the death of her husband, Prince Philip.
