Prince Harry visited the cemetery of grandmother Elizabeth II’s cemetery on the third anniversary of her death.
The 40-year-old Duke of Sussex stopped by the late monarch’s burial site at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor on Monday to personally respect him and put up a wreath of flowers.
The prince arrived in the UK early on Monday ahead of a series of visits with the charity this week. His wife, Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie, six years old, and four Princess Lillivet, did not join him.
It is unclear whether Harry will use the trip as an opportunity to meet his estranged father, King Charles III.
In May, Harry told BBC News that his father wouldn’t tell him. The prince, who resigned from royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US in 2020, admitted that “some members” of his family “don’t allow a lot of things” such as “writing a book.”
He released his bomb memoir “Spare” in January 2023.
In it, he accused Charles, 76, of joking that Harry’s “actual father was one of (Princess Diana’s) ex-girlfriends.”
Their alienation was exacerbated by the legal battle the Duke was fighting over the removal of publicly funded security.
As for Elizabeth, whom Charles had climbed for 70 years before he inherited the throne, she passed away on September 8, 2022 at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
She was lying down to rest near Prince Philip, who passed away in April 2021 at the age of 99, and her 73-year-old husband.
Also in the small chapel in St. George is home to Elizabeth’s parents, King George VI, who died in 1952, Queen Elizabeth, who died in 2002, and her younger sister Princess Margaret, who died in 2002.
St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle also served as the venue for his May 2018 wedding to Markle, making it a special place for Harry for another reason.
