She was also not at the Diana statue unveiling. Maybe pass that because it’s public but why wouldn’t you be with your husband with his grandmother dying? Sophie and Camilla were there.

Because the Queen was already dead and they had just dropped the children off for the first day of school. She needed to be there to pick them up and be with them for all of the stuff that is about to follow. With the exception of William and Harry - who were/were now about to be the children of a King — no other grandchildren or great-grandchildren were there. It’s not nefarious - this is part of a very-long planned out national event which it sounds like moved very quickly and didn’t have as much notice as people had presumed would happen.

If your great/grandmother dies or is dying, no one I know would send the kids to school anyway. Seems cold especially when the news would have broken out among their classmates (George is 9) with phones. The fact that she then waited all day to do a pap school run? It’s weird.

DP. What?? Are you nuts? It appears that nobody knew in the early morning hours, hence why everyone was rushing to Scotland, why would the kids not be in school? Normal people, of any "rank" try to have the kids have as normal of a day as possible when death in the family happens. That is what normal, healthy families do. You sounds insane and looking for some issue when there is none. No doubt your are on the Family forum imaging slights of your MIL and being nuts to all around you.

If the kids weren’t going to travel, there’s no reason to go get them from the first day of school. I’m sure whatever school they go to is able to handle privacy and they wouldn’t have heard any information ( plus the news that the Queen was seriously ill wasn’t public until the afternoon UK time).

LOL you’re joking right? The woman who rules the entire country dies and you think the kids whose parents bought them $1,000 iPhones didn’t know about it?

Please find a better excuse.

DP. I’m positive this school locked down the information and none of the young elementary kids knew until they were in their own cars heading home.

Do you really think they’d allow second graders to use their phones and scan bbc during circle time?

Wow the delusion. No school can ‘lockdown’ a head of state’s death. Everyone I knew found out about 9-11 within minutes at school and none of the children even had cellphones.

I'm sure they know what they're doing.

It was her kids first day of school at a new school. She was needed more by her kids than the Crown or William.

Because it’s clear this happened and progressed very quickly. Jenna Bush was supposed to interview Camilla for the Today show, and Camilla cancelled minutes before, and Jenna had dined with C&C the night before. William and Kate took the kids to school in the AM like a normal day. In the morning, it was business as usual. Something happened, and they put on a special RAF flight to get the children and William to Scotland, and they said she died “just after they got there” which is either crap or they kept her on some kind of life support. At the time of the school run, everyone was doing business as usual. I suspect the kids may not to to school today, but they may go just for some sense of normalcy and the big events funeral-related activities don’t start until tomorrow and next week.

Are you joking? There was a very long thread recently about children not needing to attend their uncle’s wedding because it would involve missing a day of school to travel a few hours to the location. A lot of people wouldn’t pull their kids out of the first day of school because sick great grandma died at age 96. Of course if your grandma is the queen it’s different but sounds like there were a lot of family around as she passed.

Really? I know my grandfather did not feel that way. Neither did my great-grandmother on another side. There’s a funeral for that. Seems better to die alone than making a bunch of people stand around and watch you die — could be minutes, hours, days, or more.

I’m sure you have some romantic ideas based on what you watched on TV.

Some people want to be there, some don’t.

Her Majesty was amazing, her service, her compassion, her duty, her humour, her stability will be remembered for a very long time. There are no others who I can think of who come close to what she represented around the world. RIP.

Not sure she had a legal way to jump over Charles, but yes King William would be much better than King RandomGuy.
