The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, praised the Queen’s kindness, generosity and sense of humour.


Prince William has praised his late grandmother, the Queen, and has revealed he felt “privileged” to witness her private side, “as a grandmother and great-grandmother”.



The Duke of Cambridge made the affectionate declarations after a month after her grandmother’s death. The father-of-three cute children also reflected on his grandmother’s commitment to a life of public service. 

“After almost ninety-six years, we find ourselves in a world that has changed dramatically, almost beyond recognition to the world that the Queen was born into, but where the role of charity, family, duty and compassion persevered,” he told.

The Queen’s kindness and sense of humour, her innate sense of calm and perspective, and her love of family and home were all attributes I experience first-hand.” Reflecting on the role of his grandfather, Prince Philip, he says: “I should add that no mention of the Queen is complete without paying tribute to my grandfather Prince Philip, who has devoted his life to supporting her”.
