Queen's 'maternal' relationship with granddaughters - favourite child and wedding secret

The Queen's death has left a huge hole in the hearts of the nation, as people of all ages grieve the loss of a woman they admired but may never have met. For Her Majesty's family, they will be mourning her passing in a different and much more personal way. As well as being a monarch, Queen Elizabeth II was a proud mother to four children, grandmother to eight and great-grandmother to 12.

While her relationship with Prince William and Harry was often in the spotlight, she also had a particularly close friendship with her granddaughter, Princess Eugenie. Eugenie would often accompany the Queen to the Easter Day church service in Windsor and to the Royal Windsor Horse Show and Royal Ascot.
