In a show of solidarity and support, the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of York have arrived in Scotland to join other senior members of the Royal Family at Balmoral Castle.
Their visit comes as the Queen remains under medical supervision due to concerns raised by her doctors.
Adding to the family gathering, the Duke of Sussex, who had been staying at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor during a brief European tour, is set to make his way to Scotland, as confirmed by a reliable source.
Initially, it was anticipated that the Duchess of Sussex would accompany him, but recent developments have revealed that she will be staying in London for the time being.
The royal family’s presence at Balmoral has been reinforced with the arrival of the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of York, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex, who touched down at Aberdeen Airport just before 4 pm.
The Prince of Wales, who flew in via helicopter earlier in the day, and the Princess Royal are already by the Queen’s side, showing their unwavering support during this challenging time.
A statement from Buckingham Palace, issued at 12:30 pm, highlighted the growing concerns for the Queen’s health following a thorough evaluation by her medical team.
As a precautionary measure, they have recommended that she continues to receive medical care while remaining comfortable at Balmoral.
Amidst these developments, the Sussexes were originally scheduled to attend the Wellchild Awards in London before returning to California.
However, current circumstances have led to a change in plans, with the Duke of Sussex embarking on the trip to Scotland alone, leaving the Duchess behind in London.
Outside Buckingham Palace, a somber scene unfolded as hundreds of well-wishers gathered in the rain, their numbers swelling over time.
Despite the earlier downpour that left those waiting at the gates soaked, a sense of quiet anticipation now fills the air among the assembled crowd.
As the royal family stands united in their support for the Queen, the outpouring of public concern and support continues to grow.
The developments at Balmoral serve as a reminder of the enduring bond between the monarchy and the people, especially during moments of uncertainty and challenge.
