“My Son, Harry Has…”
A fictional dramatic narrative
Five hours ago, a soundless dread fell over Buckingham Palace like a curtain of black velvet. Guards sprinted through corridors usually reserved for slow, ceremonial grace. A message crackled through every secure radio frequency:
“All senior royals to the Grand Hall. Immediately.”
The doors opened and King Charles emerged beneath the golden archway, his crown exchanged for the weight of sorrow on his shoulders. Under chandeliers that sparkled like frozen tears, he clung to the podium as if the marble beneath him threatened to shatter.
Behind him, William and Catherine stood not as figures of power, but as grieving family, eyes rimmed red. Catherine’s hand squeezed William’s, both trying to anchor the other. Neither succeeded.
Cameras were banned. Reporters kept outside the palace gates, restless like a rising tide. The world had only rumors to feed on. Inside, silence and sobs ruled.
King Charles lifted his head, voice trembling like an old cathedral bell in a storm.
“My son, Harry has…” he paused, choking on breath, “fallen into grave danger.”
Gasps echoed from the gathered courtiers. Hearts wrenched tight.
Charles continued, shaking.
“He left earlier this morning to meet with intelligence officials concerning a threat against his family. The vehicle he traveled in was found overturned near the cliffs by Dorset. Rescuers believe he may have gone over into the sea.”
Catherine clamped her hand over her mouth. William staggered forward a step, unable to keep the agony from his voice.
“This cannot be happening,” he whispered, almost pleading.
King Charles pressed a hand to his forehead. Tears, unrestrained, streaked his cheeks.
“Harry has faced many battles in his life… seen the sharp edge of the world’s spotlight… but this… this is beyond cruelty.”
A single tear fell from the King’s chin, landing upon the podium like a seal of heartbreak.
Courtiers bowed their heads. Footmen wiped their eyes. Even the crown jewels displayed in glass cases seemed dimmed.
William stepped forward at last, voice hoarse but determined.
“We will search every wave. Every rock. Every hidden corner of this nation. My brother is not lost. Not while I still draw breath.”
Reporters outside the palace gates caught sight of William storming toward a waiting helicopter, Catherine close behind. Engines roared to life. Britain watched through fences and screens as the future king leapt into action, not for throne or duty, but for love.
Meanwhile, inside the palace, King Charles remained alone in the hall. He stared up at the towering portrait of Diana. Her painted eyes shimmered with familiar sorrow.
“Please,” he whispered to her memory. “Bring our boy home.”
The bells began to toll. Slow. Heavy. Each note stretching into the night like a prayer that refused to fade.
Somewhere, beyond waves and wind…
a heartbeat might still be waiting to be found.
The hunt for Prince Harry had begun.
