Prince Harry 'chartered £30,000 private jet to fly to Balmoral on day Queen died' as it is claimed he learned of monarch's death from online breaking news announcement after Charles 'couldn't reach him'
  • 2 years ago
Harry and Meghan were in the UK by coincidence when news about the Queen's failing health started to emerge. King Charles and Princess Anne were with the Queen at Balmoral, while Prince Andrew, Prince William and Prince Edward were rushed to Aberdeen airport on a royal plane. Harry, no longer a working royal since moving to California with Meghan, spoke to King Charles who reportedly made it 'very clear' that Meghan Markle was not welcome, reports say. Although initial reports suggested Harry found out about the Queen's death through a phone call from his father, The Telegraph has reported the call never made it through. King Charles tried repeatedly to reach Harry, who knew he was trying to get in touch with him, but was not able to speak to his son before the Queen died. Instead, Harry heard of Her Majesty's passing on a breaking news notification on his phone.
