Prince Harry Arrives in Scotland to Join Royal Family After Death of Queen Elizabeth Announced
Prince Harry has arrived in Scotland following the death of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
The Duke of Sussex traveled to Balmoral Castle to Scotland following the Queen's death. His flight landed shortly after the public announcement of the Queen's death, and he wasn't the only member of the family to arrive after the Queen had died.
Harry disembarked from the plane and got in a car, traveling to Balmoral Castle to join other members of the family in mourning. A shot of the 37-year-old inside the car shows him with his hand covering part of his face.
Prince Harry arrived separately from brother Prince William, who arrived via plane earlier in the day with uncles Prince Andrew and Prince Edward as well as Edward's wife, Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
