Prince Harry was caught in a moment of despair as reports emerged that he did not get the chance to see Queen Elizabeth II for the last time before her passing.
The Queen, aged 96, passed away on September 8, 2022, with Prince Charles, Camilla, and Princess Anne by her side.
The official announcement of her death came shortly after Buckingham Palace provided an update on her deteriorating health.
Following a medical evaluation, concerns were raised about the Queen’s health, prompting the recommendation for her to remain under medical supervision.
Despite efforts to keep her comfortable at Balmoral, her Scottish residence, the monarch’s condition continued to be a cause for worry.
While Prince Charles, Camilla, and Princess Anne were already in Scotland when the Queen’s health took a turn, Prince Harry was reportedly en route but did not make it in time.
His flight landed shortly after the public announcement of the Queen’s passing, and he rushed to Balmoral, where Meghan was not expected to join him.
Amid the family’s grief, Kate Middleton also missed the opportunity to bid farewell to the Queen as she was in Windsor with her children on their first day of school.
Prince Harry, who had plans to speak at the Wellchild Awards in London, canceled his appearance to mourn the loss of his grandmother.
In a touching tribute, Harry and Meghan transformed their Archule website into a memorial for Queen Elizabeth, displaying a black homepage with a message honoring her memory.
As preparations begin for the Queen’s funeral in ten days, the royal family and the public mourn the loss of the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
The late arrival of Prince Harry at Balmoral Castle, just before 8 pm, highlighted the strained relations within the royal family, particularly between the Sussexes and Prince William and Kate.
Tensions escalated following the Sussexes’ interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they made serious allegations against an unnamed member of the royal family.
Meghan Markle‘s recent interview with The Cut magazine further fueled controversies, as she expressed her struggles within the royal hierarchy and hinted at unresolved issues with her estranged family.
Her candid remarks stirred reactions both within and outside palace walls, adding to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Sussexes.
Despite initial security concerns, the Sussexes eventually decided to travel to Scotland to be with the Queen during her final moments.
However, the decision for Meghan to not accompany Prince Harry to Balmoral underscored the complexities and rifts within the royal household, especially in light of their differing perspectives and public statements.
As the royal family navigates through a period of mourning and reflection, the passing of Queen Elizabeth II marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter for the monarchy.
With tributes pouring in from across the globe, the legacy of the beloved Queen and her contributions to the British realm will forever be remembered and cherished.
