Prince Harry arrives in the U.K. for His Royal Highness’ funeral
Prince Harry has come back to the United Kingdom once again! He arrived here on Sunday to be a part of His Royal Highness, Prince Philip’s upcoming funeral, according to ET.
The Duke of Edinburgh left for the heavenly abode on 9th April that is Friday. He was 99 years old.
Prince Harry has put in all his efforts to try to make it to the U.K. to attend his grandfather’s funeral. The Duchess of Sussex couldn’t become a part of this ceremony as she is pregnant with her second child. Due to this, she didn’t get medical clearance from her physician.
This is Prince’s first visit to the U.K. since March 2020, when he and Meghan left the royal kingdom. They had wrapped up their duties as senior members of the royal family. Since then, Harry, Meghan, and their 1-year-old son, Archie, have settled in California.
Prince Philip’s funeral is set to take place at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday, April 17 at 3 p.m. The service, which will be televised, will begin with a minute’s silence and be preceded by a Ceremonial Procession inside the grounds of Windsor Castle.
Omid Scobie, co-author of Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family, noted that Harry was “so close” to his grandfather and that his death will be “a very difficult time for him,” he told ET in an interview.
“Not only is he many miles away from his family and the queen… he is also not able to be immediately part of what is going on over here in the U.K.,” Omid said of Harry. “The royal family has gotten used to the sort of digital means of communication and he will no doubt be in touch with the family.”
