Prince Harry has been seen leaving Balmoral this morning after the death of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
He boarded a British Airways flight at Aberdeen International Airport, wearing a black suit and carrying a backpack. The Duke of Sussex had raced to the Scottish Highlands to be at the monarch's bedside yesterday.
He arrived around 90 minutes after the announcement of her death at the age of 96. The prince had flown into Aberdeen Airport alone, hours after his brother and two uncles flew together to the same airstrip.

His wife, Meghan didn't accompany him on the trip to Balmoral. A spokesperson for the couple had initially said Meghan would be joining her husband travelling north, but it was later decided she would remain in London.
Prince Harry and wife Meghan happened to be in the UK from their home in California to attend the WellChild Awards on Thursday evening. Harry has been expected to make a speech at the ceremony but both he and Meghan pulled out of the event.
The duke has been patron of WellChild, the national charity for seriously ill children and their families, since 2007 and despite stepping down as a working royal has maintained his links with the organisation. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were on the last leg of their UK tour and had not yet seen the Queen or any of the royals during their visit.
