1 HOURS AGO! Midnight Crisis Inside Buckingham Palace
Exclusive Royal Drama — Fictional Story
The ancient bells of Buckingham Palace tolled through the night, their iron voices slicing into the eerie silence like an omen. It was exactly 1 A.M. when King Charles summoned the senior members of the royal family. Courtiers rushed through the dim corridors, torches flickering along the walls as if the Palace itself trembled with dread.
Everyone was called.
Everyone except Prince Harry.
The press had been ordered out. No cameras. No reporters. No leaks. The Palace gates were shut as though London’s beating heart had suddenly frozen. Only one thing mattered: what was about to be revealed inside.
Prince William stood near the center of the chamber, pale as the marble beneath his feet. His hand remained tightly wrapped around Princess Kate’s, knuckles white. Kate whispered something softly, trying to steady her husband’s shaking breath. He swallowed hard, but tears already clung to the corners of his eyes.
Whatever news they awaited was worse than anything that had struck the family in recent months.
Queen Camilla’s empty chair sat near the King’s right hand. The golden cushions remained untouched, almost mocking the room with their pristine elegance. A cold dread swept around the table every time someone glanced at that lonely throne.
Princess Anne, stoic as ever, stood against the wall. Her jaw was clenched, her normal steel-like composure threatening to fracture. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh exchanged restless glances, their faces clouded with anxiety. Even the royal aides kept their gazes down, as though afraid to accidentally uncover the truth too soon.
At the head of the table sat King Charles III.
He looked older than yesterday. Older than his years. His shoulders sagged beneath the heavy weight of his crownless authority. Candlelight flickered against the deep lines etched across his face, shadows clinging to him like grief already announced.
Finally, he spoke.
“Thank you all for coming at this hour,” his voice cracked, betraying he had been crying long before the meeting began. “There has been… a development.”
William’s grip around Kate’s hand tightened. He knew that tone. The voice of a man whose world was falling apart.
Just as the King opened his mouth to continue, a sudden gust of wind swept through the chamber. The candles flickered wildly. Somewhere in the Palace, a window slammed shut with a thunderous bang. Kate flinched, startled.
Everyone turned.
A figure stepped forward from a shadowed doorway, just outside the candle’s reach. No footsteps. No warning. A presence that felt cold, heavy, and terrifyingly familiar.
A single voice, low and haunting, sliced the silence clean in half.
“Camilla has… fallen.”
Princess Kate gasped. The entire room jolted upright. Even Charles seemed struck by the words as though he had not expected them spoken that way.
The figure continued forward until the candlelight revealed a pale, trembling aide. His breath rattled as he forced out the rest of the report.
“She collapsed earlier this night. Doctors believe it is deadly serious. The Palace medical wing is attempting emergency treatment, but… they cannot promise she will see the sunrise.”
King Charles gripped the table to keep himself from collapsing. William pulled Kate closer, tears bursting free. Princess Anne shut her eyes, unable to hide her fear any longer.
A heavy silence took hold again.
Finally, the King whispered, each word drenched in grief:
“No one outside this room must know. Not until we understand the full truth.”
A chill swept through those gathered. They knew the monarchy was entering its darkest hour in decades.
And somewhere, far away from the Palace and the ringing bells…
Prince Harry had no idea.
The night was not over. The story was only beginning.
