However, the Duchess of Cambridge did not make it to the castle because her three children have just begun going to Lambrook School in Berkshire. Kensington Palace revealed that Kate Middleton is in Windsor as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are attending their first day at the school.

Soon after the news of the Queen went out, the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Portal Welby, shared a tweet that read, “My prayers, and the prayers of people across the @churchofengland and the nation, are with Her Majesty The Queen today. May God’s presence strengthen and comfort Her Majesty, her family, and those who are caring for her at Balmoral.”

Prime Minister Liz Truss said that “the whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime.” She also added that “my thoughts - and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom - are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time.”

Former Conservative prime minister David Cameron tweeted, “Deeply concerned by the news this afternoon from Buckingham Palace. I send my heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family at this worrying time.”

On September 7 night, a Palace spokesman had noted, “After a full day yesterday, Her Majesty has this afternoon accepted doctors' advice to rest. This means that the Privy Council meeting that had been due to take place this evening will be rearranged.”

Amid all these, speculations started doing the rounds if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are in the UK currently, will go to see the Queen in Scotland. It has now been confirmed that the couple are going to meet their grandmother. A tweet by Chris Ship, ITV NEWS Royal Editor, stated, “NEW: Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are travelling to Balmoral Castle. They were supposed to be doing a charity event in London this evening.”

Earlier, it was reported the Sussexes were scheduled to attend the WellChild Awards in London on Thursday evening, September 8. During the 2021 event, the Duke had said, “The children and families I've had the honour of meeting over my years working with WellChild have shown incredible optimism, courage, and resilience.”

"I wasn't only proud to participate as a judge in this exhibition - I was deeply moved by each and every photograph, as they capture a moment and say so much about their personal story. Every person who is part of the WellChild family is a true inspiration. Congratulations to all the entries and a special cheer to the winners!” he had added.
