Royal sources have insisted to The Daily Beast that King Charles did speak to Prince Harry and inform him personally of his grandmother’s death before a public announcement was made.⁠ ⁠ The Telegraph previously reported that Harry only found out that his grandmother had died “five minutes” before landing, but the new account of events on the fateful day suggest he did not receive even this briefest of heads-ups.⁠ ⁠ However, a royal source pushed back strongly to The Daily Beast Saturday, saying in no uncertain terms that the Telegraph’s account of the chaotic day of the queen’s death was “incorrect,” adding, that “all members of the family including [Harry]” were told about the death of the queen before the announcement was made.⁠ ⁠ The source said that it was of course entirely possible that Harry may have seen unofficial online “rumor and speculation” before the call got through, but added, “it would have been just that.”⁠ ⁠ Read more of the story with the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ —⁠ ⁠ Photo: David Rose/Pool/AFP via Getty Images⁠ #royals #britishroyalfamily #princeharry #kingcharles #queenelizabethii
