Prince William paid his respects to his late grandmother on Saturday, saying “the world lost an extraordinary leader.”
In his first statement since Queen Elizabeth’s death, the Prince of Wales, 40, praised her commitment to Britain and the Commonwealth, as well as her role as matriarch of the Royal Family.
“I have had the benefit of The Queen’s wisdom and reassurance into my fifth decade,” he said.
Prince William noted how his wife, Kate Middleton, now Princess of Wales, benefitted from the Queen’s “guidance and support,” while the couple’s three children have memories that “will last their whole lives.”
“She was by my side at my happiest moments.
