According to reporters on the ground, members of the Royal Family are either by her side or travelling to be with her.
To summarise, all of the Queen’s children – Charles, Anne, Edward, Andrew – are either at the Queen’s bedside or travelling to be with her. Her grandson, Prince William, is also in Scotland. This is as grave as it gets, I am so sorry to say.
