I refuse to believe that Harry got the news so much later than William and Co. that he was that far behind them. Yes there are rifts but I choose to think that Betty told someone she trusted "when the time is near, get Harry." Especially with him being in London. They wouldn't let him fly with them. No one will tell me otherwise. He may hate them but he wouldn't just not fly with them if it meant he got to her quicker. That's why I thought he'd call a friend (David Beckham? Idk) and say "I need a jet" |

Prince Harry has landed in Aberdeen, shortly after the death of his grandmother, the Queen was announced.
Buckingham Palace declared the passing of Britain's longest-serving monarch aged 96 at 6.30pm.
But flight data shows the Duke of Sussex's jet was still in the air at the time, not touching down at the airport until nearly 15 minutes later.

I kind of doubt she was aware at this point, so it's fairly moot.

When I see that picture of him in that car, my heart sees that little broken hearted boy from all those years ago.

I have a nasty cold and am WFH so I took a nap over lunch. I knew it would be announced while I was sleeping. Nothing is evoking any emotion from me other than just empathy for the family since she's their beloved family member. If anything I'm a bit annoyed that Charles is now in charge, unless he goes after Andrew right away. I see it happening shortly after her state funeral, out of respect for her, nothing else. |

Because of the timing of everything in hindsight, I think she did die much earlier in the day than when it was actually announced.

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. I’m behind, so sorry if this was covered, but if Will becomes Cornwall, does George become Cambridge? |

That's why I thought he'd call a friend (David Beckham? Idk) and say "I need a jet" I just can't believe any of this. Now I need to dissect everything. Was anyone else in London when they got the call? William was in Windsor. If they deliberately cut Harry out (and I'm not saying it's outside of the realm of possibility) then there is no healing this ever. Ever. |

He can pick a name like Elizabeth's dad was King George VI but his name was really Albert Frederick Arthur George. Or Queen Victoria was Alexandrina Victoria. I remember the scene from The Crown where the secretary asked her regnal name after her father died and she was like "well I'm Elizabeth, let's keep it simple." And really he’s too old to change his name. |

I doubt anything was done with petty intentions. Not that I’d particularly put it past them, but at the end of the day, the family matriarch died. They probably went with the pre-planned protocol on announcements, etc., separate of the family gathering.

I just can't believe it took him that much longer to get there. |

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?? |
