Prince Harry says goodbye to Prince Philip in personal words. His small family will “sorely miss” him.
Prince Harry remembers Prince Philip (1921-2021) as a “man of service, honor and great humor”. For the 36-year-old, however, he was one thing above all: “my grandfather”. With loving lines published on the website “archewell.com”, he is now saying goodbye to the Prince Consort, who died on April 9 at the age of 99.
“Always a special place in our hearts”
“He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp joke, and was able to hold the attention of any room with his charm – also because you never knew what he would say next,” says Prince Harry of the late husband of Queen Elizabeth II. (94) in honor. Prince Philip was “a rock” for the British monarch, “with incomparable devotion in 73 years of marriage”. For the 36-year-old, however, the Duke of Edinburgh was “master of the grill, legend of the joke and cheeky to the end”.
“With this in mind, Grandpa, thank you for your service, your devotion to Grandma and for always being yourself”, Prince Harry finishes his personal farewell words. He will “sorely miss his grandfather.” […] Meghan, Archie and I (as well as your future great-granddaughter) will always have a special place in our hearts for you. ”
