Prince Harry has paid tribute to his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II on the third anniversary of her death.
The Duke of Sussex, who landed in London for a four-day visit on Monday, headed straight to Windsor to lay a wreath at St George’s Chapel – where his grandmother is buried. Queen Elizabeth, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, died at age 96 on September 8, 2022.
Harry is said to have wanted to pay his respects to his grandmother privately. He was taken to the chapel where he married Meghan Markle, by his security team shortly after touching down in the UK Monday morning.
Despite being close in proximity to the Wales family, the prince did not visit his brother, Prince William and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, who were in Berkshire visiting the Women’s Institute to honor the late Queen, who was president of the institution.
Prince Harry is in London for Monday’s WellChild Awards. He has supported the charity for sick children for 17 years and will present a prize. However, unlike last year when Harry was in and out of the UK for a fleeting visit, he will be in England for four days.
In addition to visiting Nottingham for a charity engagement, Harry is hoping to visit his father King Charles, whom he has not seen since last February.
Sources close to the Duke of Sussex say he has been in touch with his father’s staff in the hope of finding a time in their diaries for a face-to-face meeting. Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on the possibility of a meeting.
