7 Apr
Summary
- Late Queen planned a final Balmoral visit for great-grandchildren.
- Gesture aimed to create happy memories before her passing.
- Invitation extended to all, including Sussex children.
Queen Elizabeth II, in the final weeks of her life, expressed a desire to invite her great-grandchildren to Balmoral Castle. This gesture was intended to leave them with cherished, happy memories.
The late monarch's plan encompassed all of her great-grandchildren, including Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, the children of Prince William and Catherine. Notably, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, were also included in the invitation.
Royal author Robert Hardman shared these insights, suggesting the Queen wished for these gatherings over the summer of 2022. Despite stepping down as senior royals, the Sussex children were part of this heartfelt invitation.
In her last months, the Queen continued to fulfill some duties, including greeting Prime Minister Liz Truss just two days before her passing. Her final moments were described as peaceful, in her sleep, due to old age.
