On September 17, Prince William and his brother Prince Harry — as well as six of their cousins — stood vigil over the queen’s coffin as she lay in state in Westminster Hall. While Harry stodd at the foot of the coffin, William stood tall at the head, paying his respects to the one he so fondly called “grannie.” And if there were any doubts as to how heartbroken William has been since the queen’s passing, his face at the vigil was all the proof needed. “Grief is the price we pay for love,” one Twitter user wrote alongside a photo of William at the vigil. “Such a moving photo of the Prince of Wales. You can see the grief etched on his face!” another fan wrote.
On September 10, Prince William shared a personal Instagram tribute, calling the queen “an extraordinary leader” who remained absolutely committed to her role as head of state of the U.K. and its realms. “I, however, have lost a grandmother,” Prince William added. “And while I will grieve her loss, I also feel incredibly grateful. I have had the benefit of the queen’s wisdom and reassurance into my fifth decade.”
The Prince of Wales finished up his tribute reflecting on the queen’s relationship with his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, and their three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. “I knew this day would come, but it will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real,” he wrote.
