Prince William 'ordered plane to leave without Harry' as pair rushed to dying Queen

Prince William ordered an RAF plane to leave without Prince Harry the day the Queen passed away, according to reports.

Upon hearing that Her Majesty was unwell, members of the Royal Family rushed to be by her side with some senior members of the family taking an RAF jet from London to Scotland. The Queen passed away at Balmoral on September 8, 2022 and whilst Harry and Meghan live in America, they were in the UK for charity work at the time of the monarch's death.

The alleged order from Prince William was detailed in a new chapter in an updated paperback version of Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors by Tom Bower.

The book states: "Unwilling to waste more time, William ordered the RAF jet to take off at 2:39pm. Harry was left to hire his own plane and make the journey alone. He landed in Scotland at 6:46pm, 14 minutes after the Queen’s death had been announced to the public. She had died at 3:10 pm."
