Prince Harry Is Reportedly Scared He Won't Get to Say Goodbye to the Queen Amid Her Recent Health Scare

The past few days have been worrisome for the royal family, as long-reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II heeds the advice of medical professionals and rests, canceling a trip to Northern Ireland and a recent appearance at the COP26 Climate Conference. Members of the royal family have been rallying around the queen for the past several days, while thousands of miles away, Prince Harry has reportedly been worried about his grandmother’s health scare. And his concern reportedly stems from the April passing of his grandfather, Prince Philip.

According to a new report from Us Weekly, Prince Harry went into “panic mode” after learning about the queen’s recent hospital stay. “He felt helpless being 5,000 miles away in Montecito, [California,] and has been checking-in non-stop with her,” a source shared with Us Weekly. The Duke of Sussex’s reported focus on the queen’s health isn’t only out of concern for his dear grandmother — it reportedly also has to do with Prince Philip’s passing.
