When they learned of the Queen’s passing, Harry and his wife, Meghan, were already in the UK performing engagements with charities near and dear to their hearts.
Sadly, the Duke did not arrive in time to be at his grandmother’s bedside. He had started traveling to Balmoral on a charter flight.
In his autobiography Spare, Harry wrote: “As the plane started to descend, my phone lit up. a message from Meg “Call me as soon as you get this,” I said. I looked at the BBC webpage. Grandma had left. Pa was the King.
The Sussexes left their royal responsibilities in 2020 and moved to the US. They now live in Montecito with their kids, Archie and Lilibet.
