Prince William shares fond memory of tea with Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle

The Prince of Wales has revealed that he inherited his “love of teatime” from his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

Speaking as part of a video message for a new digital memorial honouring the late Queen, Prince William recalled the regular trips he made to Windsor Castle whilst he was studying at Eton College.

“Some of my fondest memories of my grandmother are from here in Windsor. I remember many a quiet afternoon, having tea with her and my grandfather at the castle, chatting, sharing stories, and seeing how completely at ease she was here, surrounded by family and her much-loved dogs and horses.”

He said his trips to the Berkshire royal residence, where his love of tea was cemented, are memories he will “always hold dear”.
