Prince William says 'Grannie's' death 'doesn't feel real' in moving tribute to Queen

Prince Willian has issued a moving tribute to his grandmother the Queen who supported him on the “saddest days” of his life. The Prince of Wales fondly recalled how the Monarch spent holidays with his three children in recent years, leaving them with memories to last a lifetime.

Her Majesty passed away peacefully at Balmoral in Aberdeenshire on Thursday, September 8, ending her 70 year reign. Her son, King Charles, was this morning officially declared Head of State at a meeting of the Accession Council at St James's Palace in London.

He confirmed that the day of the Queen’s funeral will be a public holiday across the country on Monday September 19. Prince William has now released his first statement since the Queen’s passing on behalf of him and his wife Kate, the Princess of Wales.
