What is remarkable was the absence of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, the wife of Prince William, from the scene, and not accompanying her husband in this difficult circumstance, but, according to the “Big Six” website, Kate chose to stay with her three children, George, Charlotte and Louis because of their studies in Windsor, while Her husband, William, went alone to Balmoral in Scotland, where the Queen was.
William preceded his father, Prince Charles, and his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, by helicopter, and they were also followed by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, where they canceled some of the engagements and appointments they were supposed to attend together on Thursday in London.
