Prince Harry, who had an incredibly special bond with Her Majesty, was seen leaving Balmoral in a Range Rover, shortly after 8am.

He returned to London on a commercial flight. In the capital, he will be reunited with his wife Meghan. The couple had flown in from the US last Saturday and were due to make an appearance at the WellChild awards on Thursday evening.

Emily also elaborated on the level of emotion Balmoral holds for both Prince Harry and Prince William as it was during a summer holiday there in 1997 when they received word their mother Princess Diana had passed away.

Emily continued: "I'm sure there was a big sense of Deja Vu for William and Harry. One of the most painful times in their lives happened while they were on holiday at Balmoral and that won't have been lost on them when they travelled back there to be there at the Queen's bedside.

"It must have been incredibly sad for everyone involved, but it was the place she loved, the place which her grandchildren said was one of the most beautiful in the world and I'm sure they'll take comfort in knowing that she was in such beautiful surroundings."
