As the clock struck twelve, Buckingham Palace stood illuminated only by the flicker of candlelight. Shadows stretched across the ancient walls, carrying with them the weight of a tragedy no one dared to speak aloud. Inside, Prince William and Princess Catherine clung to one another, their faces streaked with tears. Witnesses described their embrace as “heartbreaking, as if the very ground had been pulled out from beneath them.”
One by one, senior royals rushed into the Palace — their expressions grim, their voices hushed. The atmosphere was heavy, suffocating. Then came the sound that pierced the silence: Camilla’s anguished wail, echoing through the gilded corridors.
“The one I loved most has… gone!” she cried, collapsing into the arms of an aide. The statement sent shivers through those present. Who had been lost? What devastating blow had struck the House of Windsor under the cover of midnight?
Within minutes, the Palace gates were sealed shut. No official statement was given, leaving Britain and the world gripped by speculation and fear. Social media exploded with the hashtag #DarkNightForTheCrown, as millions waited for answers. Royal watchers warn that this midnight tragedy could alter the monarchy forever.
