He referenced the words the queen herself spoke after the death of her husband Prince Philip: “Life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings.” He went on, “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." The Duke of Sussex added that she will be “sorely missed” and said that a further first meeting had come in the form of his father’s ascension to the throne. “We now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III.” He finished by saying, “Thank you for your commitment to service. Thank you for your sound advice. Thank you for your infectious smile. “We, too, smile knowing that you and grandpa are reunited now, and both together in peace.” Another reunion took place for Harry recently: with his brother Prince William. Harry and Duchess Meghan stepped out with William and Kate (the new Prince and Princess of Wales) for the first time since the Commonwealth Service in March 2020, just before lockdown in the UK. They were filmed getting out of a car together and viewing floral tributes to the queen at the gate of Windsor Castle. All four are currently on the Windsor estate. Kate and William recently moved into the four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage with their three children, while Meghan and Harry are staying in their marital home of Frogmore Cottage. The walkabout came after William—now first in line to the throne—released a statement in which he said that “it will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real.” Next up, What is Prince William’s Net Worth?
