Royal Reunion: Queen Spotted Heading to Frogmore Cottage as Prince Harry Returns to the UK
The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has made his way back to the UK for a significant occasion – the unveiling of a memorial statue dedicated to his late mother, Princess Diana.
Arriving in England on Friday, Harry is now in quarantine in preparation for the upcoming ceremony scheduled for next Thursday.
While Harry is staying at Frogmore Cottage during his visit, the Queen was observed driving towards the residence earlier today.
It remains uncertain whether the Queen and Harry had a face-to-face meeting, given that the Prince is required to self-isolate for five days due to Covid travel restrictions.
Frogmore Cottage, where Harry is currently residing, is also home to his cousin, Princess Eugenie, along with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their son August.
The property has reportedly been divided into two sections to accommodate both families.
The forthcoming Princess Diana memorial event holds great significance for Harry, Prince William, and their immediate family members, according to a royal insider.
However, the original plans for the event have been downsized due to ongoing Covid regulations, preventing many of Diana's friends and acquaintances from attending on June 21.
As per reports from the Daily Mail, several of Diana's close friends expressed disappointment over the restricted guest list, prompting speculation about a larger commemorative event in September.
A spokesperson for Harry confirmed his safe arrival at Frogmore Cottage, located near Windsor Castle, the Queen's primary residence.
In honor of what would have been Diana's 60th birthday, her sons are set to set aside their differences and gather for the unveiling of the statue on July 1 in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace.
Kensington Palace has officially announced the attendance of the royal brothers, Diana's immediate family members, presumed to be her siblings, and other key figures involved in organizing the statue's unveiling.
A source within the royal circle emphasized the intimate nature of the event, highlighting the adjustments made to accommodate the current Covid-19 restrictions.
The statue, commissioned by Diana's sons in 2017, marks the 20th anniversary of her passing and aims to celebrate her enduring impact and legacy.
Despite the well-documented challenges in William and Harry's relationship, the focus will undoubtedly be on their beloved mother as they pay tribute to her life next Thursday.
In a joint statement issued upon the project's announcement, the royal siblings expressed their hope that the statue would serve as a poignant reminder of Diana's profound influence on countless lives.
