Royal Turmoil: Prince Harry’s Last Moments With Grandmother Queen Elizabeth II

Claims have surfaced suggesting that was given a mere five-minute heads-up about his grandmother's passing before the news went public, causing uproar among palace staff.

According to a report in a newspaper, the distraught prince was allegedly the last family member to be informed, learning about the Queen's demise even after Prime Minister Liz Truss.

The Daily Telegraph hinted at this incident exacerbating the existing tensions between Harry and the royal family.

The timing of these revelations, on the brink of the Queen's funeral, was deemed highly disrespectful by Buckingham Palace.

In an unusual move concerning a private matter, a spokesperson for the monarchy emphasized that the public announcement occurred only after all family members had been personally notified.

It was clarified that Harry, though informed shortly before the news broke publicly, was unreachable as he was en route to Scotland.

The initial Telegraph article making these claims was retracted, replaced by a revised version asserting that Harry was treated no differently than other relatives.

Harry and Meghan had arrived in the UK just before the Queen's health deteriorated, yet Harry missed bidding his final farewell.

Reports indicate that Prince Charles had extended an invitation for the couple to stay at Burke Hall Manor near Balmoral Castle, where the Queen passed away, an offer declined by Harry and Meghan in favor of Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.

Allegedly, Harry's decision was influenced by logistical considerations for their travel to Germany and not a desire to avoid his father.

Regrettably, this choice deprived Harry of a final encounter with his beloved grandmother, leaving him filled with remorse for allowing pride to hinder his actions.

Upon arriving at Balmoral, visibly distraught, Harry was met with the news of the Queen's peaceful passing, announced by Buckingham Palace 90 minutes earlier.

The contrasting experiences of and regarding their children's interactions with the Queen have underscored the rift within the royal family.

While William expressed gratitude for his children's cherished moments with their great-grandmother, Harry's children, and , had limited encounters with her.

This disparity serves as a poignant reminder of the familial bonds Harry's children have missed out on.

Despite outward displays of unity during public appearances following the Queen's death, sources close to the brothers suggest that there has been no substantial reconciliation between and Prince Harry.

While the duo presented a united front in their mourning, insiders reveal that the effort to maintain solidarity has been challenging.

Acknowledging the need to project togetherness, the brothers have faced uncomfortable moments, with little indication of deeper reconciliation or lasting repair of their strained relationship.

Amidst the ongoing rift, both sides are striving to navigate their shared grief while grappling with unresolved tensions.
