Prince Harry

PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have been facing criticism for failing to visit the Queen while on tour in Europe.

"Because just by existing, we were upsetting the dynamic of the hierarchy," Meghan said. Royal commentators say William and his wife Kate Middleton are avoiding contact with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex due to fears of their conversation being repeated in Harry’s upcoming tell-all memoir. Royal broadcaster Rafe Heydel-Mankoo lashed out at the Sussexes for reportedly refusing to visit the Queen when the country is going through a difficult time. The Sussexes are in the UK to visit charities "close to their heart", a spokesperson for the couple said. "So we go, 'Okay fine, let’s get out of here. "Yes, we go from the sublime story of the Cambridges to the ridiculous stories of the Sussexes as usual.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex could be staying in the UK longer due to the latest news about the Queen's health and she remains off camera at Balmoral.

Some did express concern about the significant bruising on her hands. While the couple haven't made any announcements about their plans, there has been an update from Buckingham Palace regarding the monarch's health.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were on the last leg of their UK tour and have not yet seen the Queen or any of the royals. Prince Harry and wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex are in the UK and are on their way to Balmoral to be with the rest of the Royal Family amid news of the Queen's ill health. Harry was expected to make a speech at the ceremony this evening, but now he and Meghan will make their way to Scotland.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are on their way to Balmoral as doctors remain 'concerned' about the Queen's health.

"My thoughts – and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time." The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are on their way to Balmoral as doctors remain "concerned" about the Queen's health Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, are on their way.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be joining other members of the Royal Family at Balmoral amid health fears for the Queen.

PRINCE HARRY has been ridiculed for reportedly seeking an apology from Prince William over his failure to 'be there in [Harry's] darkest hour'.

He was at the centre of a number of painful moments, be it the actions of his own staff or turning his back when support was needed. Mr Scobie reported the source saying: “People are desperate for steps to be made but behind the scenes; there hasn’t been movement… Mr Heydel-Mankoo suggested there were “more serious issues right now than petty insignificant vacuous issues” such as this fraternal dispute but slammed Prince Harry for throwing a “litany of insults” towards [Prince William](/latest/prince-william) yet then expecting him to apologise.

The death of the Queen means that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, is now technically a prince – a title that his mother, ...

At the time Archie was born, he was the great-grandchild of a sovereign, not a grandchild. George V’s declaration meant that only Prince George, as a great-grandson of the monarch down the direct line of succession to the throne, was originally entitled to be a prince, as he is the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales. But to prevent him from becoming a prince, the King would have to issue a Letters Patent amending Archie’s right to be a prince and Lili’s right to be a princess.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are both in the UK following the death of the Queen – but will they be joined by their children?

We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. It is understood Meghan remained in London, and did not attend a planned appearance at the WellChild awards. Even if the children do come to the United Kingdom, it is unlikely that they will be at the funeral, as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were not present at Philip's funeral. MORE: At the time, Meghan was heavily pregnant with Lilibet at the time, and was advised not to travel.

Harry is patron of the national charity for seriously ill children and their families. His convoy passed floral tributes left outside Balmoral in tribute to the nation's longest-reigning monarch, who died peacefully yesterday afternoon at her retreat in Aberdeenshire.
