Queen’s Death Certificate Reveals Family’s Desperate Attempt to Be by Her Side

The release of the Queen's death certificate has unveiled new details about the extraordinary 24 hours that forever changed the monarchy and British history.

Published by the National Records of Scotland, the certificate confirms that Her Majesty passed away at 3.10pm on September 8th at Balmoral Castle, over three hours before the public announcement was made.

Crucially, the document also confirms what was suspected at the time – that some of the Queen's children and grandchildren, including the Prince of Wales, Duke of York, Earl and Countess of Wessex, and Duke of Sussex, desperately tried to be at her bedside.

Upon hearing the doctors' concerns, they cleared their schedules and boarded a flight at 2.39pm.

However, due to the travel time, they only arrived at 5.30pm, likely learning of her passing while in the air.

At around 5pm, they finally reached Balmoral, with Prince William driving a fleet of cars.

The Queen's death certificate was signed by the Princess Royal, who stood by her side during her final moments, along with her eldest son, Charles.

Charles had flown to Balmoral with his wife, Camilla, and arrived at 10.30am.

Interestingly, the certificate raises questions about when Prince Harry was informed of his grandmother's death.

Unlike his brother William and uncles Andrew and Edward, Harry traveled separately.

Reports suggest that he learned of her passing just five minutes before the public announcement.

However, palace aides vehemently denied claims that Harry received special treatment, emphasizing that every family member was informed before the news was made public.

A source close to the royal family stated that the King had not been in regular contact with anyone on that difficult day, and Harry was treated no differently.

At 1.50pm, a spokesperson for Prince Harry announced his intention to travel to Scotland, but unfortunately, he arrived too late to bid his final farewell.

Departing from London Luton Airport at 5.35pm, Harry landed in Aberdeen at 6.46pm, shortly after the official announcement of the Queen's death.

He was photographed wearing a black suit and tie as he sat in the back of a car, swiftly making his way to the royal estate just before 8pm.

Speculation has arisen regarding the reason for Harry's delay, with rumors suggesting a heated argument with Meghan Markle.

A source quoted by Crazy Days and Nights claimed that the couple had a lengthy fight, preventing Harry from arriving on time.

However, it is important to note that these reports remain unverified.

The previous evening, at approximately 6.02pm, Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen had postponed her virtual Privy Council meeting upon the advice of her doctors to rest.

Although the advice did not require hospitalization, this announcement immediately sparked concerns about Her Majesty's health.

She had been experiencing mobility issues for several months and had previously canceled several high-profile public appearances, including the Platinum Jubilee celebrating her remarkable 70-year reign.

It had also been reported that the future King, Charles III, had been regularly visiting his mother in the mornings, which was considered highly unusual.

The Queen's absence at the traditional Highland Games, an event she typically attended each year, further fueled speculations about her declining health.

As the details surrounding the Queen's final hours continue to unfold, the release of her death certificate offers a glimpse into the family's desperate attempts to be by her side during her last moments.
