A new report claims King Charles waited almost two hours to tell Prince Harry that the queen had died
and may have effectively kept Harry from seeing his grandmother one last time at Balmoral. Ward reported that Charles called both his sons early on September 8 to get them to Balmoral to see the queen before she died, but that Harry “received that call some time after Prince William.” She reportedly suggested that Harry was not invited to join the royal family’s private flight to Scotland, which meant he had to scramble to get his own flight to Balmoral.
Per the report, Harry’s flight took off at 5:35 p.m. — an hour after Prime Minister Liz Truss had been informed of the queen’s death. Charles didn’t tell Harry about his grandmother’s passing until around 6:25 p.m., five minutes before the royal family released the official announcement. And, to top it all off, Ward claimed that Harry didn’t even get to see his father or brother when he arrived.
