The other networks, including Channel Seven, have also introduced rolling coverage.
The death of Queen Elizabeth II will be especially hard on her grandson Prince Harry, whose relationship with the royal family had grown strained in recent years, Stefanovic said on Today on Friday.
While the show aired photos of the Queen’s children and grandson Prince William heading to Balmoral to say goodbye, co-host Allison Langdon said the Duke of Sussex was “not present at the passing of his beloved grandmother.”
Harry arrived in Balmoral nearly an hour and a half after the death of his grandmother the Queen was announced.
