His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.
The Duke’s death comes amidst a time of great upheaval for the royal family.
Here, a royal expert spoke withThe Listabout why.
“I honestly feel quite sorry for Prince Harry in this scenario,” Schofield explained.
“He will have a difficult time grieving for his grandfather alone in America.
That means today will either include awkward telephone exchanges or no calls at all.
So who knows how Prince Harry was informed of his death.”
Schofield adds, “Prince Harry has truly become the least of their worries.”
“Harry was extremely close to his grandfather,” a royal source told the outlet.
The COVID-19 pandemic and Britain’s current lockdown also complicate Prince Harry’s potential travel plans.
His grandparents, he said, have seen their grandson,Archie, over video calls.
“We’ve Zoomed them a few times,” Prince Harry said.
“They’ve seen Archie running around.”
“He just goes ‘doof’!”
Harry said with a laugh.
