The relationship between the two British princes, William and Harry, remains in the spotlight with the latest revelation that William ignored Harry’s messages during Queen Elizabeth II’s final days. William’s silence is believed to have added to Harry’s anguish during that critical time.
In the last days of Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral, all eyes were on the royal family, particularly the already strained relationship between Princes William and Harry. Author Craig Brown, in his book “A Journey Around the Queen,” revealed details about this tense period, suggesting that the rift between the brothers had reached its peak.
According to Brown, while in London attending an awards ceremony, Harry received a call from his father, then-Prince Charles, informing him of the Queen’s health. Initially, Harry nearly missed the call due to an unfamiliar number. However, upon learning the news, Harry immediately texted William to ask if he and Kate were going to Balmoral.
Contrary to Harry’s expectations, William did not respond. This silence was confirmed by Harry himself in his memoir “Spare.” Harry wrote, “I immediately texted Willy to ask if he and Kate were flying up there. If so, when? And how? No response. Meg and I looked into flight options.”
Not only was Harry’s message ignored by his brother, but according to Brown, King Charles III, then-Prince Charles, also asked Harry not to bring Meghan to Balmoral. The reason given was that he “didn’t want too many people” around the Queen. Harry reacted sharply, saying, “Then that’s all you needed to say, Dad.”
Details of the royal family’s travel schedule to Balmoral on September 8, 2022, have also been revealed. William, along with Edward, his wife Sophie, and Andrew, departed RAF Northolt together on a jet at 2:39 PM. Meanwhile, Harry had to charter a Cessna from Luton Airport. By 6:40 PM, as Harry’s plane was nearing Aberdeen Airport, he received a message from Meghan: “Call me as soon as you get this.” However, it was too late; Harry learned of his grandmother’s passing from BBC News.
Official records of the Queen’s final moments were later documented in a historic memorandum. It stated that she “passed away peacefully” in her sleep at the age of 96. The memo, authored by Sir Edward Young, the Queen’s private secretary, is now held in the Royal Archives. It reads: “Deceased at 3:25 PM. Very peaceful. In her sleep. Last breath. Old age. Death to be registered in Scotland. Agreed 3:10 PM. She must have been unaware. No pain.” Dr. Douglass Glass, who had served the Royal Family for 30 years, signed the Queen’s death certificate.
