King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Edward & Prince Andrew Stand Together at Queen's Funeral

LONDON, England – Prince Harry faces a life of permanent "exile" with King Charles III plotting to follow the playbook drawn up by the royals when they overcame the crisis triggered by Edward VIII, the king who abdicated in 1936 and was obliged to live the rest of his life outside the U.K.  That's what the headlines in the gossip columns say about the recent return of Harry and Meghan to the U.K., but the truth is much different.  Let me explain. The Royal family evolves and divides after each reign with no one safe from exclusion.

King Charles III became a grandad for the very first time when he was 65 years old, after the Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed their first child, Prince George. The 73 year old is now a proud grandfather to five children - William and Kate's children, Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's two children, Archie, three, and one year old Lilibet. Charles also has five step-grandchildren through his wife Queen Consort Camilla's first marriage to Andrew Parker-Bowles.

King Charles III has headed to Scotland alongside the Queen Consort, following his late mother Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral on 19 September.The new monarch, 73, and his wife, 74, flew from London's RAF Northolt to Aberdeen earlier this week to see out the remainder of the Royal period of mourning. The couple will no doubt be returning to the Balmoral Estate but rather than stay in Balmoral Castle, which King Charles has now inherited, it's more than likely that they've headed to their private home, Birkhall. Dad-of-two Charles has previously described Birkhall as "a unique haven of cosiness and character", and he and Camilla even spent some of their honeymoon at the peaceful abode.

Queen Elizabeth II's funeral were full of love and historical significance. A royal source tells ET that at King Charles III's request, the wreath at the top of the Queen's coffin during Monday's state funeral contained foliage of rosemary, English oak, and myrtle — cut directly from a plant that was grown from the myrtle that was in the Queen's wedding bouquet during her 1947 wedding to Prince Philip. The wreath also included flowers cut from the gardens of Royal Residences in hues of gold, pink and deep burgundy, with touches of white. Rosemary is said to be a symbol of remembrance, while English Oak signifies strength. Atop the wreath sits a personal, handwritten note from Her Majesty's eldest son, King Charles, reading: «In loving and devoted memory.
