The Duke of Sussex has paid tribute to the Queen’s “unwavering grace and dignity” in a farewell message to his late grandmother that also thanked her for her “sound advice” and “infectious smile”.
In a message posted on his and his wife’s Archwell website, Prince Harry said he was “forever grateful” that the Queen had met Meghan and hugged the couple’s two children, Archie and Lilibet.
The Queen met one-year-old Lilibet, who is named after her, for the first time during the platinum jubilee celebrations in June, when the Sussexes made their first return trip to the UK as a family since they stepped back from their official roles in the royal family.
Addressing her as “Granny”, Harry shared his “great sadness” at the Queen’s death, saying she would be “sorely missed”. He described her as a “guiding compass” through her commitment to service and duty.
