Prince Harry Shares Touching Tribute To Queen Elizabeth
The Duke of Sussex finished the statement saying: “Thank you for your infectious smile. We, too, smile knowing that you and grandpa are reunited now, and both together in peace.”
It is understood the Duke of Sussex’s statement was held back a day out of respect for the anniversary of September 11.
His statement read: “In celebrating the life of my grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen – and in mourning her loss – we are all reminded of the guiding compass she was to so many in her commitment to service and duty. She was globally admired and respected. Her unwavering grace and dignity remained true throughout her life and now her everlasting legacy. Let us echo the words she spoke after the passing of her husband, Prince Philip, words which can bring comfort to all of us now: ‘Life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings.’”
He added: “Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings—from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren. I cherish these times shared with you, and the many other special moments in between. You are already sorely missed, not just by us, but by the world over.”
What’s more, Harry also said he wanted to honor his father at the start of his reign as King. “And as it comes to first meetings, we now honor my father in his new role as King Charles III. Thank you for your commitment to service. Thank you for your sound advice.”
