England takes a new direction from the hand of King Charles III, who assumed the throne after the death of Queen Elizabeth IIwhose departure at age 96 keeps the country in shock.
Even the monarch’s family was surprised by the information from the doctors, who said they were concerned since the early hours of Thursday, September 8, about her health. Given the alert, all her relatives were called to Balmoral Castle in Scotland. But the vast majority could not say goodbye to her; she died alone accompanied by two of her children.
Who did the Queen see last?
Buckingham Palace assured that her majesty passed away “peacefully” on Thursday afternoon. According to British media, such as ‘Daily Mail’ and ‘The Sun’, Only the now King Carlos and Princess Ana, the eldest children, had the opportunity to accompany her for the last time in bed.
Both were already in Scotland, so it would have been easier for them to travel by helicopter to find out first-hand about their mother’s condition.

Instead, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Prince William were flying to the residence when they were informed of the death.
Prince Harry, who stays away from the monarchy, also failed to arrive, according to the aforementioned media. He was in Germany, took a private flight, but arrived in Scotland around 8 p.m. local time, almost two hours after the world news broke.

Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, preferred not to travel to Balmoral Castle. In a statement, Kensington Palace said the Duchess of Cambridge stayed home “because Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are on their first day at their new school.”
And Meghan Markle? Of the Duchess of Sussex, for now, her location is not known. Although it was thought that she would accompany her husband, he was photographed alone. Some media even captured him with a worried face inside a vehicle.
Very sad for Prince Harry that – despite being in the UK – he didn’t get to see his grandmother, The Queen, before she passed away.

In addition, in the morning hours of this Friday, it was learned that Prince Harry left the castle after spending less than 12 hours there. It is not clear if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will go to the United States to pick up their young children to return to England and participate in the funeral of Queen Elizabeth IIaccording to ‘Daily Mail’.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla are expected to travel to London as soon as possible to begin the 10 days of tributes that have been prepared for the world’s longest-serving monarch.
