Prince Harry was informed of Queen’s death mid-flight, forced to find own way to Balmoral

After the Queen’s deteriorating health news, Prince Harry was forced to board the flight to Balmoral. Mid-flight, he was informed of the Queen’s deise just a few minutes before the official announcement. But unfortunately, he could never meet his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, according to reports.

Prince William, along with the Duke of York, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, flew together to Balmoral on the Dassault Falcon 900LX jets.

However, Prince Harry did not board the same flight. He was unable to find an aircraft as most of the members of the Royal Family were already in a race to fly Balmoral. Prince Harry finally boarded a charter from Luton airport, which flew at 5:35 PM.


King Charles III Said No To Public Announcement Until Royal Family Members Are Informed
King Charles III kept delaying the issue of the official statement of the Queen’s death because first, he wanted his son to know about him and was waiting for him to land in Scotland so that he could break the news to him. The King was stringent in his decision not doing a public announcement until all the members of the Royal Family were informed. He took this decision as a father because he cared for his sons.




As per sources, Prince Harry was not treated indifferently by the other Royal family members. On the day of the Queen’s demise, King Charles III was not in anyone’s contract as it was a difficult day for him. Everyone focused on being at the palace.
