The photo was taken at the summit, which took place in Manchester, England, on Monday, September 5, days before Her Majesty died. Though Harry and Meghan jetted off to Germany to attend the Invictus Games "Dusseldorf 2023 – One Year to Go" event after their summit appearance, their trip was cut short upon news of the queen's rapidly declining health.
Harry was on his way over to his grandmother's Balmoral castle when she took her last breath. OK! reported the father-of-two didn't make it in time to say goodbye to the 96-year-old, but he and Meghan mourned the monarch alongside Harry's estranged family.
Tension between the Sussexes and the royal family has been at an all-time high ever since Harry and Meghan stepped back from their senior royal duties in March 2020 and moved to California. And while Harry and Prince William, along with their respective wives, put on a united front in public, it seems they have yet to mend old wounds.
Days after Harry and Meghan returned to their lives in California, the palace unveiled a new family portrait consisting of King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, William and his wife, Kate Middleton. The photo was taken on Sunday, September 18, the day before the queen's funeral and released on Saturday, October 1.
