Prince Harry Mourns Queen Elizabeth II’s Passing

The world was left in shock after the news of Queen Elizabeth II's passing was announced on September 8, 2022.

The Queen, who had been under medical supervision for some time, passed away at the age of 96.

While Prince Charles, Camilla, and Princess Anne were by Her Majesty's side, it was reported that Prince Harry was not with her when she passed.

The official announcement of the Queen's death came just hours after Buckingham Palace gave an update on her health, stating that her doctors were concerned and had recommended she remain under medical supervision.

The brief statement ended with the assurance that the Queen was comfortable and at her residence in Balmoral, Scotland.

It has been reported that Prince Harry did not make it to Scotland in time, as he was en route when the Queen passed.

The flight he was on landed shortly after the public announcement of the monarch's death.

Harry was seen arriving at Balmoral soon after, but Meghan was not expected to join him.

Kate Middleton also missed the Queen's passing, as she was in Windsor with her three children attending their first day of school.

Harry, who was preparing to make a speech in London on Friday at the Wellchild Awards, cancelled his appearance.

Harry and Meghan paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth on their Archule website, transforming the homepage of their non-profit organization into a tribute to the Queen.

The page is now black, with a message reading “In loving memory of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022.”

Preparations are now underway for the Queen's funeral, which is expected to take place in 10 days' time.

Queen Elizabeth was the longest-reigning monarch Britain has ever seen, with 70 years on the throne.

She is survived by her four children, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward, and eight grandchildren.

Harry's arrival at Balmoral Castle was delayed by 90 minutes, as he finally arrived just before 8 pm.

Meghan did not accompany him, following ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and Prince William and Kate, after they gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey in March last year accusing an unnamed member of the Royal Family of making a racist remark about their son Archie.

Meghan's recent interview with The Cut magazine, in which she claimed that just by existing, she and Prince Harry were upsetting the hierarchy, further added to the tensions.

She also spoke of her relief at being able to tell her own story and warned that she is free to say anything.

These comments were met with anger and dismay behind palace gates, where aides were already growing increasingly concerned about Prince Harry's forthcoming autobiography, due to be published by Penwin in the coming months.

The Sussexes had initially declined an offer to see the Queen in Scotland for security reasons amid a continuing row over their police protection.

But after Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen was under medical supervision following doctors' concerns, the couple confirmed that they would be traveling up to Scotland to be at her bedside.

They later said that they would be making the journey separately from the rest of the family, but plans had been coordinated with the other royal households.

However, at 4:40 pm, a source clarified that the Duchess would not be traveling that day.

In conclusion, the world mourns the loss of Queen Elizabeth II, and Prince Harry is among those who are deeply affected.

While he did not make it to the Queen's side before she passed, he paid tribute to her on his website.

The preparations for the Queen's funeral are underway, and the world waits to bid farewell to the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
