re: Prince Harry Had to Hire Private Jet to Fly to Balmoral on Day Queen Died
Prince Harry and Meghan Will Stay in UK Until After Funeral of Queen Elizabeth
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to remain in the UK until after the Queen's funeral and are said to be weighing up whether or not to have kids Archie and Lilibet flown over from the US
Harry Told by Charles ‘Meghan NOT Welcome at Balmoral to See Dying Queen
The Duke of Sussex reportedly received a call from Charles telling him to come to Balmoral to see the Queen in her final hours but he was told that "Meghan would not be welcome"

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were in the country as part of a mini Euro tour when the monarch suddenly passed away on Thursday.
Harry, 37, had been due to speak at the WellChild awards in London on the same day but pulled out so he could rush to Balmoral Castle in Scotland where Elizabeth II died surrounded by her family.
Meghan, 41, remained in the English capital, similarly to Kate who stayed at home while Prince William travelled up north.
The Sussexes touched down in Britain last Saturday and have appeared at events in Manchester and in Dusseldorf, Germany, and were thought to be planning to jet back home to California, US, imminently.
But are now understood to be staying until at least Monday, September 19 when the state funeral is expected at Westminster Abbey.

They are also said to have discussed whether their children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, will be making the trip over, reports HELLO.
The magazine's royal editor Emily Nash said: "We understand that Harry and Meghan will be staying in the UK until after the funeral.
"It's fair to say that they obviously want to be present for the Queen and pay tribute to her."
Ms Nash went on to say Balmoral itself holds further significance for William and Harry because they were staying there when they learned of their mum Diana's death in 1997.
She added: "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."
Harry is said to have received news his grandmother had died while he was still in the air, flying to the Highlands from Windsor.
He was then seen leaving Balmoral in a Range Rover shortly after 8am on Friday.
The duke had always shared a strong bond with the Queen, as he did with Prince Philip who died in April 2021.
Despite stepping down as a working royal, alongside Meghan, in March 2020 and moving to Montecito in Santa Barbara, he had jetted back for his grandfather's funeral.
