5 HOURS AGO! White flags flew across the palace gates as the monarchy plunged into mourning. Sophie and Edward clung to each other in tears outside the Grand Hall, the start of a royal earthquake that has shaken the Crown to its core. Harry sat hunched in sorrow, while Kate — the future Queen — crumbled under the weight of despair. Cameras were banned, silence ruled, until a voice rang out: “Bow your heads… we regret to announce…”

One supporter wrote:

“My heart breaks for Edward and Sophie. They are the most genuine royals — they don’t deserve this pain.”

Another posted:

“This is devastating. The monarchy has lost one of its strongest pillars of stability.”
