Her grandson Prince Harry (38) is said to have been informed of his grandmother’s death just five minutes before publication, according to allegations once morest the royal family.
-
Now Buckingham Palace is defending itself once morest the allegedly unjustified allegations.
The royal family is angry. The evening before the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday were reported in British newspapers «Telegraph» accusations loud. It is alleged that Prince Harry, 38, was informed of his grandmother’s passing just five minutes before it was publicly announced. Thus, Prime Minister Liz Truss (47) was informed before him.
The fact that these allegations were made public on the evening before the Queen’s public funeral annoys the royal family and is seen as disrespectful. “The population was only informed following every family member was informed,” says a media spokesman for King Charles III. (73) comment on this. Harry was on a plane to Scotland when his grandmother, the Queen, took her last breath. The sad news reached him during the flight. The public notice went out at 6.30pm local time, Harry’s plane landed in Aberdeen at 6.46pm.
The rift between Harry and the royals
Despite this week’s odd appearance with his family, there’s little hope of a reconciliation between Prince Harry and the royals. As “Telegraph” further reports, the gap between family ties is still noticeable. For example, Harry and Duchess Meghan (41) were unloaded from a state reception on the grounds that the invitation had reached them by mistake.
At the grandchildren’s vigil on Saturday, Harry was exceptionally allowed to don the Blues and Royals No 1 uniform but was denied the right to wear his grandmother’s ER initials. The aiguillettes associated with the cipher – braided decorative cords – were also removed, which he had worn on Wednesday for the procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster.
