Royal Family Reunites for Private Dinner Before Queen’s Funeral

Before the Queen's funeral procession, a heartwarming family reunion took place as Prince William and Prince Harry came together for a private dinner.

The brothers, along with their wives Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, gathered on September 13, 2022, the day preceding the Queen's procession to Westminster Hall.

The intimate dinner was a touching moment before the public paid their respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The following day, the royal couples made a public appearance together during the procession to the illustrious abbey.

Prince William donned his military uniform, while Prince Harry opted for a somber black suit adorned with his decorations.

The unity displayed by the couples as they walked together, paying tribute to the late Queen at Windsor Castle, was a poignant sight for onlookers.

According to reports from Kensington Palace, Prince William extended the invitation to his brother and sister-in-law, inviting them to join the public event.

The couples, dressed in mourning attire, took time to appreciate the floral tributes and messages of support left for the Queen and the royal family.

During the Queen's final moments, Prince Harry was en route to Balmoral Castle in Scotland to be with King Charles and Prince William, who were by her side.

Despite arriving late, Prince Harry has been actively participating in the funeral proceedings alongside his family and the newly crowned King Charles III.

Queen Elizabeth II passed away peacefully on September 8, 2022, at her residence in Balmoral, Scotland.

In a touching tribute, Prince Harry expressed his gratitude for his grandmother's influence on his life through a public message on the website of his charity Archwell.

He fondly recalled cherished memories shared with the Queen and acknowledged her enduring impact on not only his life but also on a global scale.

The news of the Queen's passing reached Prince Harry via a news alert as he landed in Scotland.

Contrary to expectations, he was not personally informed by his relatives but learned of the news through online sources.

Reports suggest that communication challenges contributed to the delay in notifying Prince Harry of the Queen's passing, leading to a somewhat disjointed flow of information within the royal family.

The challenges of coordinating and communicating effectively within the royal family were apparent as they navigated the complexities of bidding farewell to a beloved monarch.

In the midst of grief and remembrance, the royal family's unity and shared moments of reflection serve as a testament to their resilience and bond.
