Also I think Harry has enough friends and connections that someone was able to get him on a plane and then a helicopter.

I’m not watching the news, so might have missed it. However, someone has to know where harry is. They knew when Wills plane landed, and followed the car. Someone find that prince!

I just realized dd will find out when she gets her phone after school (they keep them in their lockers) based on the amount of alerts I've gotten.

Man I really feel for the Camb kids. They just started school today and their Gran died. I thought about this just now too. I feel like every first day of school will be hard since it’s now associated with her death. Or at least that is how my mind works. |

Diana died on my 17th birthday. I slept so little between that and the nerves for my driver’s test (effing NJ).

I think that this is among the last times we will see Harry with his family, too. Meghan and Harry have made it clear that it was Charles and co who were the worst to them.
I'm predicting yes be there at her funeral. No to being there at Charles's coronation.

Twitter thinks Charles will speak soon.
I have to pick my kids up in 30 min. Get to it Charlie.

Damn! I just signed on after doing a bunch of work. RIP Liz. I really like the photo People Magazine chose.

Like others were saying, it's very weird that for the rest of our lives, there will be a King of England instead of a Queen. It makes me squicky for some reason. IDK why, Queen wasn't really better.
I guess now the Cambridges are the Cornwalls, right? Until he gets the Prince of Wales promotion?
I also had a visceral reaction to a sentence I read "the child, nine years old, is now third in line to the throne."
God, this should be abolished. Don't do it to him.

If she died during the afternoon and Wills and company didn't get there until just after 5pm, I am questioning that they (or Harry) made it in time.
But she knew how much they loved her and vice versa and that's what matters.

I agree IF and that is a big IF it is a mandatory type thing Harry goes, but Meghan doesn't but I can't see him going |

If nothing else, thank god Trump isn’t the president responsible for making a statement and everything that will follow. Can you imagine him at the funeral??

BBC keeps saying how Buckingham was her home, but is now the home of the King and Queen Consort and I DON'T LIKE THAT

I wonder when they will explain succession to George if they haven’t already.

I’m very fascinated that they keep saying “queen consort” and not invoking the name Camilla at all.
