It is a mystery that has agitated the British since the death of Elizabeth II: what happened this Thursday, September 8 that the whole royal family arrives so late at the queen’s bedside ? Expected from the early hours of the afternoon, after the alarming message from the doctors, Prince William and his two uncles, Edward and Andrew did not indeed joined Balmoral until more than 5 p.m.after the death of the sovereign.
Worse still, Prince Harry, who arrived alone on a plane and even later: he, who was visiting Europe at the time of his grandmother’s death, had however announced immediately that he was also going in Scotland. But then why didn’t any land fast ? It would appear that in reality the first aircraft, a British Army Falcon scheduled for 1.30 p.m., left at 2:39 p.m.without giving further explanation.
But the reason could lie in the separation of the two sons of King Charles on the plane: the protocol would have required that the brothers do not leave in the same device, to avoid a serious diplomatic crisis in the event of a crash. However, this situation absolutely would not have pleased Prince Harry : the youngest of the family would have been furious to know that he would still have to wait before being able to join his grandmother, to whom he was so close and to whom he had introduced his two children, Archie and Lilibet (3 and 1 year old) in June.
Meghan Markle’s husband was also surely not very happy to have to leave his wife in Windsor: while she had been announced at Balmoral at first, the American actress had finally stayed at Frogmore Cottage, just like Kate Middleton who had preferred not to make the trip to stay with his children. However, Meghan Markle was not left alone for too long: on Friday morning, Prince Harry left Balmoral alone to join Windsor. William, meanwhile, left much more discreetly to return to London with his father.
The two sons of King Charles III then did not make waves until this Saturday evening: indeed, at the invitation of Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined them for meditate in front of the many bouquets of flowers and the little notes placed on the gates of Windsor Palace.
