Prince Andrew speaks publicly for first time since Queen's death

The Duke of York has thanked people for visiting Balmoral in Scotland after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Prince Andrew's daughter Princess Eugenie wiped away tears while reading tributes to her grandmother, who died aged 96 at Balmoral Castle on Thursday.

The duke, flanked by his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, thanked well-wishers for lining the route back to Balmoral after the royal family attended a prayer service today (September 10). It was the first time the members of the royal family had been seen together in public since the Queen's death.

Asked by a mourner how things were, Andrew said: "We've been allowed one day, now we start the process of handing her on." He added: "It's nice to see you, thank you for coming."
