On Thursday, September 8, Queen Elizabeth II, who had led the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth countries for nearly 70 years, ended her life at the age of 96.
Only three members of the Royal Family were able to witness the event.
Before she breathed her last, several members of the Royal Family were informed that her health was of concern and went to Balmoral Castle, where she was recovering.
Unfortunately, not all of them were able to say goodbye to the Queen in person. Due to the rapid deterioration of her condition, many of them could not make it in time.
Now, a source has revealed the members of the Royal Family who were able to witness the moment of the Queen’s death. There were only three of them.
The members of the Royal Family who were present at the moment of Queen Elizabeth’s death are as follows
King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla.
Former Prince Charles, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth, became the new King upon her death.
Princess Anne
The eldest daughter of Queen Elizabeth. In recent years, she has often assumed official duties on behalf of the Queen.
Queen Elizabeth’s second son Prince Andrew, third son Prince Edward, his wife Queen Sophie, and grandson Prince William arrived at Balmoral Castle after the Queen breathed her last.
Prince Henry, who left the royal family in 2020 to emigrate to the U.S., was also on his way to London to attend an event for a charity organization, but cancelled it after receiving news about the Queen’s health. The destination was hastily changed to Scotland. However, he arrived at Balmoral Castle about an hour and a half after the Queen’s death was announced by the British Royal Family.
Prince William’s wife, Princess Catherine, remained at home to watch over the children as they started their new school life, and Prince Henry’s wife, Princess Meghan, who was visiting England with Prince Henry, did not accompany them to Balmoral Castle, but remained in London.
