The Duke of Sussex was only informed that the Queen had died five minutes before Buckingham Palace released the official announcement, it's been reported. Prince Harry received the fateful call from his father King Charles when he was in a plane flying towards Aberdeen.
A royal source insisted that the Duke had not been treated differently from any other member of his family. The same source added that the King had not been in regular contact with anyone during what had been a very stressful time.
"Everybody was trying to get where they needed to be," the unnamed contact told The Telegraph. "That was the focus. And the King was adamant that the official statement must not be released until all members of the family had been informed. That was a father talking because he cares."
