Princess Eugenie has paid a moving personal tribute to her kind and patient "grannie" the Queen on the eve of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Eugenie, one of the monarch's eight grandchildren, said she hoped her one-year-old son August would grow to have the Queen’s “patience, her calmness and her kindness while always being able to laugh at himself and keep a twinkle in his eye”.
She described the nation’s longest-reigning monarch as having transcended time and been “a constant rock for so many”.
