Prince Harry was seen sharing a comforting moment with a member of staff at the airport as he prepared to fly back to London following the death of Queen Elizabeth II .
The Queen’s grandson had travelled to Balmoral yesterday afternoon as concerns spread over Her Majesty’s health, arriving in the grounds after the sad news had been announced to the world. His wife Meghan Markle remained in London as Harry made the journey, following his brother Prince William and all four of the Queen’s children.
After the Palace announced that the Queen had died “peacefully” at Balmoral on Thursday afternoon, Harry was seen leaving Balmoral Castle at around 8:15am this morning. The 37-year-old Prince wore a black suit as he was later seen boarding a British Airways flight alone at Aberdeen International Airport, the Manchester Evening News reports .
