Tragically the family did not make it to the royal estate before Her Majesty’s passing, Mail Online reports.
Meanwhile Prince Harry arrived at 8pm, after the heart-breaking news of the 96-year-old’s death was announced by the Palace to the public.
Earlier reports suggested he and the Duchess of Sussex were on the way to the Queen’s Scottish bolthole together.
But sources later said Meghan would stay in London, with Prince Harry travelling alone.
Kate Middleton also stayed down south with George, Charlotte and Louis for their first day at school, a spokesman has confirmed.
The Queen’s death marked an end to her historic reign and sparked an outpouring of grief around the world.
In a sombre statement, Buckingham Palace confirmed Her Majesty Elizabeth II, the longest-serving monarch in British history, had passed away – making her son, Charles, King.
Charles, now King Charles III, was with his sister Princess Anne at their mother’s bedside when the monarch passed away yesterday evening.
King Charles and Anne were in Scotland on previous planned engagements.
His helicopter was also seen landing on the grounds of Balmoral in the morning.
Camilla also travelled to the castle after cancelling an event at hospital Maggie’s in Airdrie, Lanarkshire.
Thousands of Brits took to the streets to pay their respects to the monarch, leaving flowers and gathering to remember her.
A tearful crowd broke into God Save the King outside Buckingham Palace yesterday when news of the death was announced.
Last night Charles, who will now be known as King Charles III, gave a sombre statement as he led the nation in mourning.
The new King said: “The death of my beloved mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.
“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.
“During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the Queen was so widely held.”
Prime Minister Liz Truss, who was formally appointed by the Queen just two days ago, said the Queen’s death was a “huge shock to the nation and the world”.
She added: “God save the King”.
