Prince Harry’s affinity to “usually ignore” unknown numbers calling him meant he may have almost missed King Charles telling him to make his way to Balmoral Castle ahead of the Queen dying in September 2022, it has been claimed.
The Duke of Sussex had spoken to his grandmother just four days before her passing but was unaware of her condition at the time.
Omid Scobie, author of Endgame, claimed that Meghan Markle told Harry to answer the call from an unknown number which led to his dramatic rush to Aberdeen in the Queen’s final hours.
He wrote: “The Sussexes had no idea that Buckingham Palace was already planning for the Queen’s final hours and the first days of the monarchy’s new era—until the duke’s phone started ringing. An unknown number. He usually ignored those.’You should answer it,’ Meghan told him.

“He tapped accept just before it stopped. Harry hadn’t spoken to his father much that year, but this was not the time for any father-and-son tension.
“Charles told him he and Camilla were about to leave Dumfries House for Balmoral, where Princess Anne was already by the Queen’s side. He told Harry to make his way to Scotland immediately.”
