Meanwhile, Prince Harry was seen arriving in Scotland hours after the news of the monarch’s demise. According to Page Six, Prince Harry previously traveled to the UK from Germany, where he was promoting the Invictus Games with his wife. During the Queen’s demise, both Markle and Prince Harry were reportedly in London for prior commitments. Reports suggest that the couple initially planned to travel to Scotland together, but the Horrible Bosses star was ultimately not seen at Balmoral alongside her husband. Although Prince Harry and Markle did not share an official statement about the Queen’s passing, the duo paid a tribute to the monarch on their official website.
