Prince Harry has issued a statement “celebrating the life” of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, praising her “infectious smile,” and said he would “honor” his father, the king.
Harry, who was deeply beloved by his grandmother despite her dismay at the feud that has roiled the family for the past two years and more, also appeared to refer to the queen’s meeting with his daughter, Lilibet, in June of this year, on the eve of the platinum jubilee. The meeting became controversial after it emerged that the queen banned Harry and Meghan from taking photos of the meeting, apparently over fears the photos would be circulated by the couple.
