Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had a tense relationship with the royal family since their marriage in 2018. After stepping down from their royal duties, the couple lost access to royal security, which they claim makes it unsafe for them to travel back to the U.K. with their kids.
However, amid reports that Queen Elizabeth’s health is in a steep decline, Harry is said to be traveling to Scotland to be at her side.
At 96-Years Old, Queen Elizabeth’s Doctors Are Worried For Her Health
Queen Elizabeth became the first British monarch to rein for 70 years in 2022, when she celebrated her Platinum Jubilee. Despite being 96 years old, the Queen has still been active in her royal duties. However, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace revealed today that doctors are “concerned for Her Majesty's health."
Though the representative didn’t provide details on her condition, they added she’s “comfortable” and remains at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Much of Queen Elizabeth’s family has been seen making their way to Scotland to be with her, including her eldest son Prince Charles and his wife Camila. Prince Charles is next in line to the throne.
Television footage showed Queen Elizabeth’s younger sons Prince Andrew and Edwards as well as her grandson Prince William (the son of Prince Charles) arriving at Aberdeen Airport, which is located an hour from Balmoral. The Queen’s daughter Princess Anne is already with her.
Prince William’s wife Kate Middleton reportedly stayed behind to take care of their three children, who just started a new school year.
Harry Is Going To Scotland, But He’s Leaving Meghan Behind
Various reports have confirmed that Harry is making his way to Scotland to see his grandmother. The royal was already in Europe with his wife for a series of charitable events. However, it appears Meghan is not joining him in Scotland.
Harry and Meghan were in the U.K. just last month to celebrate the Queen’s jubilee. However, their visit was reportedly met with tension, especially since Harry unsuccessfully petitioned the government to provide his family with extra security during their stay.
Following the news that the couple were in Europe, sources said Queen Elizabeth wasn’t interested in seeing Meghan. She reportedly doesn’t want to be “on tenterhooks” while waiting for the “next nuclear bomb,” likely a reference to Meghan’s explosive comments about the royal family since she and Harry relocated to California in 2020.
