Even those on the periphery, including Prince Andrew and self-exiled Prince Harry, made the all-important trip to Scotland to be with their closest family in their darkest hour. They were later joined by Prince William - who flew up to Scotland alone - alongside Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie Countess of Wessex as the Royal Family came together in their time of need. The Queen's two eldest children, Prince Charles and Princess Anne were the first to be by her side as they were both already in Scotland on official engagements.

What started as a normal Thursday full of engagements, and the first day at school for the children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, soon turned to something far more serious as news spread of Her Majesty's ill health. Senior members of the Royal Family today raced to Balmoral to be beside the Queen at her deathbed as Britain's longest reigning monarch died peacefully at Balmoral following an historic day. Her Majesty, who stood with the support of a stick and smiled as she greeted Ms Truss in front of a roaring fire, had not been seen in public for two months.
But she was well enough to meet with Boris Johnson at Balmoral to accept his resignation, before asking the 15th Prime Minister of her reign, Liz Truss, to form a Government. Since his funeral, where she poignantly sat alone because of lockdown restrictions, her own health faltered, and she was forced to miss an increasing number of events mainly due to 'mobility problems' and tiredness.
The Queen's passing came more than a year after that of her beloved husband Philip, her 'strength and guide', who died aged 99 in April 2021. And as her son accedes to the throne, there will also be a celebration of her historic 70-year reign that saw her reach her Platinum Jubilee this year - a landmark unlikely to be reached again by a British monarch. The Queen's death will see Britain and her Commonwealth realms enter into a ten-day period of mourning as millions of her subjects in the UK and abroad come to terms with her passing. Hours later she died, surrounded by her family. Her children, and Prince William and Prince Harry, had rushed to her bedside at Balmoral after doctors became 'concerned' for her health. He will address the shocked nation imminently, as the world grieves Britain's longest-reigning monarch. Her son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, is now King.
