Outrage has erupted among palace staff over claims that Prince Harry received a mere five minutes’ warning about his grandmother’s passing before it was made public.

According to a newspaper report, the devastated royal was allegedly the last to know about her demise and was even informed after Prime Minister Liz Truss.

The Daily Telegraph suggested that this incident further highlights the rift between the prince and his family.

However, Buckingham Palace expressed clear irritation at the emergence of such claims on the eve of the Queen’s funeral, deeming it highly disrespectful.

In an unusual move concerning a private matter, a spokesperson for the King emphasized that the public was only informed after every family member had been notified.

It is understood that while it is true that Harry was informed shortly before the news became public, this was due to his inaccessibility during a flight to Scotland.

The original story, which had been taken down from the Telegraph website, was later replaced with an amended version stating that Harry was not treated differently from other family members.

He had already arrived in the UK with his wife Meghan just days before the Queen’s health began to deteriorate.

However, tragically, the late monarch took her last breath before her grandson Prince Harry had the chance to bid her farewell.

According to British media, Charles had extended an invitation to the couple to stay at his Burke Hall Manor, which is located near Balmoral Castle, where the Queen passed away.

However, the duo declined and chose to stay at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor instead.

Insiders reveal that Harry’s decision was influenced by the need to be closer to London’s airports, as they also had an engagement in Germany last week.

Nevertheless, it is insisted that he had no interest in reconciling with his father at that point in time.

Now, Harry is said to be filled with regret for allowing his pride to hinder a final meeting with his beloved grandmother.

Tragically, Harry arrived at Balmoral 90 minutes after Buckingham Palace had announced the Queen’s peaceful passing, appearing devastated in the photographs captured.

This further highlights the divide between Harry’s family and the rest of the royals.

In contrast to Prince William’s statement expressing gratitude for his children’s cherished memories with their grandmother, Harry’s children, Archie and Lilibet, have only had brief encounters with the Queen.

A source states that this serves as a painful reminder of all the missed opportunities for Harry’s family.

Whether William intended for Harry to interpret it that way or not, that is how it was received.

The ongoing rift between the once-close brothers, Prince William and Prince Harry, remains unresolved.

Despite putting on a display of unity in their grief over the past week, sources claim that there has been no meaningful reconciliation between them.

The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex have made joint appearances following their grandmother’s death, but insiders close to the brothers assert that the united front requires effort.

While there is an understanding of the need to show solidarity, it seems that it does not extend much beyond that.

Awkward moments have arisen, but there is no sense of deeper, meaningful reconciliation or a belief that things will be repaired.

A source close to Harry disclosed that being together has been uncomfortable and challenging at times for the brothers, but added that everyone is making an effort to navigate the situation.
