Amid growing concerns about the health of Queen Elizabeth II, a significant shift in plans has been noted within the royal family.
Prince Harry is set to travel alone to Balmoral to be by the Queen's side, while Meghan Markle may join him later, as per sources close to the royals.
Initially, it was anticipated that both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would visit the 96-year-old monarch together.
However, recent reports suggest that Meghan Markle will not be accompanying her husband on this trip.
Royal expert Cameron Walker took to Twitter to share this development.
Sources indicate that the Duchess of Sussex might make her way to Scotland at a later time to reunite with Prince Harry.
The royal family has rallied around the Queen as she receives medical attention at her residence in Balmoral, with updates on her condition being closely monitored.
As the Queen remains under the care of royal physicians, members of the royal family including Charles, the Princess Royal, the Duke of York, the Earl of Wessex, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Countess of Wessex are either by her side or en route to Balmoral.
Meanwhile, the Duchess of Cambridge is tending to her children in Windsor alongside Prince William.
Recent events have raised questions about the potential impact of the Queen's passing on the nation.
Discussions have emerged regarding whether there would be a designated day off or holiday to mourn the loss of Queen Elizabeth II, given the widespread concern for her well-being.
In the event of the Queen's passing, a period of national mourning lasting 10 days is expected to be observed across Britain.
This mourning period would culminate in the Queen's burial, which is projected to occur on the 10th day following her demise.
A two-minute national silence is also anticipated during the mourning period.
Should the unfortunate event take place in Scotland, Operation Unicorn, a meticulously planned 10-day operation, would be activated.
This operation involves the transfer of the Queen's remains to Edinburgh and subsequent arrangements for her journey to London.
Conversely, if the Queen were to pass away in London, Operation London Bridge protocols would be set into motion.
This operation entails a series of official notifications and procedures, including the communication of the news to top government officials and the coordination of funeral arrangements.
Internally, the day of the Queen's passing would be referred to as D-Day, with subsequent days leading up to the burial designated as D plus 1, D plus 2, and so forth.
The public would receive official notifications regarding the events following the Queen's passing through channels established by the Royal Family.
