Harry arrived without his wife Meghan, who remained in London with their children.

The couple had been in the UK following a European tour, including the 2022 One Young World Summit in Manchester.

The Duchess of Cambridge also remained home in Windsor with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The frantic chain of news about the Queen’s declining health unfolded from 12:32pm when Buckingham Palace announced her Majesty was under medical supervision at her Balmoral home.

King Charles, Camilla and Princess Anne, who were in Scotland at the time, quickly raced to Balmoral.

Prince William soon followed, as well as Prince Andrew and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.

According to reports, King Charles lll and Princess Anne were the only royals present when the Queen passed away.

King Charles now takes over the throne following his mother’s 70-year-long reign. Queen Elizabeth II was Britain’s longest reigning monarch.
