Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughters Beatrice and Eugenie have paid an emotional tribute to the late monarch, calling her 'our dearest Grannie'. Prince Andrew's daughters issued an statement ahead of the Queen's funeral on Monday (September 19).
They spoke warmly of their grandmother, and were frank about the "collective loss" which they have felt since her death at 96. They also say they thought that the Queen would "be here forever".
The statement reads: “Our dearest Grannie, we’ve not been able to put much into words since you left us all. There have been tears and laughter, silences and chatter, hugs and loneliness, and a collective loss for you, our beloved Queen and our beloved Grannie.
