Prince Harry Arrives in Aberdeen as Queen Elizabeths Death Announced
Prince Harry has officially joined the rest of The Royal Family on a grim day for all who loved Queen Elizabeth.
Harry touched down earlier Thursday, and he was spotted apparently traveling solo in the backseat of a chauffeured vehicle. It had previously been reported his wife, Meghan, would be joining him on his trip to the Scottish estate, but she was not seen.
Harry and Meghan had previously been in Europe to attend the WellChild Awards in London. Harry was to deliver a speech Thursday night, which will no longer happen.
Unclear what sort of communication Harry had with Prince William and King Charles in the moments leading up to Queen Elizabeth’s death … but it’s no secret things have been icy between the family over the last few years.
As we reported, The Royal Family announced Thursday, “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.”
King Charles released a statement, in which he’s referred to as “His Majesty The King,” saying, “We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”
He continues, “During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the Queen was so widely held.”
