Prince Harry was told of the Queen's death just five minutes before the Palace's official announcement, it is claimed. The Duke of Sussex was on board a flight to Aberdeen when he received the heartbreaking phone call from his father.
By the time he arrived in Scotland, a statement on Her Majesty's death had already been released. According to the Mirror, a spokesperson for King Charles said: 'The public was only informed after every family member had been informed.'
It is understood that Harry was told to make his way to Balmoral after Prince William had already been called. The royal's staff had difficulty arranging a plane so he could be at the Queen's side, whereas William joined Prince Andrew and Prince Edward to fly out of RAF Northolt.
