With the publication of a new royal book, many details of the last moments of Queen Elizabeth have been revealed. Between them, the truth about why Kate Middleton did not visit the late monarch during her final moments has arisen.
In the new book, ‘The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy’, the events surrounding the death of the Queen are recounted, telling how many royal members, such as Prince William, hurry to get to Balmoral after doctors revealed they were ‘concerned’ for her health condition.
Given this, the current Princess of Wales decided to stay in her home in Windsor with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, who were starting a new term at a new school. This way, one of their parents would be with them on their important day.
For their part, when Harry received the news of his late grandmother’s health, he was told by his father, King Charles III, that wives would not go, so he should go alone to Balmoral. A royal aide said Kate’s decision “was by luck rather than judgement, but it made it a lot easier to tell Harry to come alone“.
