“It’s understandable that the family wanted Prince Harry to be there, even though he couldn’t make it to Balmoral in time to see his grandmother,” royal expert Katie Nicholl revealed to Entertainment Tonight. “But Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, was not, we understand, invited to join the family. He has said he will go to Balmoral another time. But I think it’s very important that Prince Harry traveled to Balmoral alone without his wife,” he added. Interesting! WPA PoolGetty Images The revelation comes in line with Meghan not appearing at Prince Harry’s side as he headed to Balmoral Castle following news of Queen Elizabeth’s hospitalization before her death. Both the Duke and Duchess were already in London as they were scheduled to attend the WellChild Awards in the city. But after Buckingham Palace issued a 29-word statement saying the Queen’s doctors were “concerned” about her health, Harry and Meghan canceled the appearance and the Duke boarded a plane to Scotland solo.

Sadly, Harry didn’t get to see his grandmother before she passed, as his plane landed shortly after news of the Queen’s death broke, and pictures of him arriving at the estate – apparently to meet other family members – are really destructive. Other notable things mentioned in King Charles’ speech were the fact that he is bestowing the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales on his eldest son Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton: “With Catherine by his side [William]our new Prince and Princess of Wales, I know, will continue to inspire and guide our national conversations, helping to bring the marginalized to the center where vital help can be given.” This content is imported from Instagram.

Charles also hinted at what his and Camilla’s new normal will be like as King and Queen consort, saying: ‘My life will of course change as I take on my new responsibilities. It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energy to charities and causes that I care so deeply about. But I know that this important work will continue in the trusted hands of others. This is also a time of change for my family. I rely on the loving help of my beloved wife Camilla. In recognition of her own faithful public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my Queen Consort. I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast dedication to duty on which I rely so heavily.” And he ended the speech with a truly emotional moment by confessing: “On behalf of my entire family, I can only express the most sincere and sincere thanks for your condolences and support. They mean more to me than I can ever express.” Tear ducts: activated.
