The Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge remained in Windsor yesterday while William, Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge, and the Queen’s other children and Prince Harry traveled to Balmoral following the unusual statement from Buckingham Palace that “her doctors queen are concerned about Her Majesty’s health.” Kate stayed in Windsor with her and William’s three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as it was their first full day at school. Following the death of Her Majesty, aged 96, at one of her favorite residences, the official Instagram account for Kate and William shared the message released by Buckingham Palace. It read: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. “The King and Queen will remain at Balmoral this evening and return to London tomorrow.” The note was also posted on the gates outside Buckingham Palace, as is tradition after the death of a monarch. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-reigning monarch in British history. After her death, her grandson Prince William and his wife Kate were given the titles, Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge.
