Speaking on the ITV daytime show, Holly revealed how her children had written letters for the monarch and said she felt it was important to take them to the palace.

"They wrote letters, and I think that's a nice way to get out their feelings and grief. For me, explaining it to Chester somewhat, from being a little girl, this is what she was destined to do.

"All her dreams had to be put on the back burner," the mum-of-three said.
