Prince Harry allegedly found out about Prince Philip’s death much later than everyone else.
In its Nov. 8 issue, Woman’s Day claimed that palace staff phoned Prince Harry while Prince Philip was on his death bed, but he didn’t pick up.
As such, the UK embassy allegedly reached out to the Santa Barbara Police to rouse the Duke of Sussex in the middle of the night. And when he woke up, Prince Harry was shocked to learn that his grandfather had died.
Prince Harry didn’t have the chance to fly to the United Kingdom after Prince Philip became sick due to the travel restrictions in both countries. And he allegedly regrets not visiting his grandfather to this day.
As such, Meghan Markle’s husband has allegedly been waiting on the phone 24/7 to make sure that he will be able to pick up the call if something happens to Queen Elizabeth.
Last month, the monarch had a health scare and was rushed to the hospital. And sources revealed that Prince Harry was devastated when he heard the news.
“Harry, like William, was quite shocked at the thought of the queen being in the hospital, and he’s been anxiously awaiting word on whether he should jump on a plane home and go and see her. He’s been assured she’s resting and recovering well, and there’s no urgent need to return,” the source said.
The insider added that royal aides don’t want the Duke of Sussex to return to the United Kingdom and heighten everyone’s stress levels because of his presence.
However, the tabloid’s claims do not make much sense. If Prince Harry didn’t wake up even after several phone calls, he still won’t wake up even if police officers were the ones that called him.
It’s not also true that Prince Harry found out about Prince Philip much later than everyone else because he was most likely in contact with the royal family at the time.
While it is possible that Prince Harry could be worried about the queen’s health, it doesn’t make sense for him to wait for him by the phone. After all, he has a phone that he can just carry with him anywhere he goes.
As such, it’s obvious that the tabloid just made up this story about Prince Harry to make it seem as though the queen’s health is deteriorating even when she’s recovering well.
