\"Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings—from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren,\" Harry said in a statement. \"I cherish these times shared with you, and the many other special moments in between.\"
William said in a statement he was thankful his three children got to spend so much time with their great-grandmother.
\"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,\" William said. \"My wife has had twenty years of her guidance and support. My three children have got to spend holidays with her and create memories that will last their whole lives.\"

The queen's youngest son, Prince Edward, recalled the joy of seeing the queen spend time with his children, James, Viscount Severn, 14, and Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, 18, the queen's youngest grandchildren.
\"Sophie and I have taken huge pleasure in seeing our James and Louise enjoying the places and activities that their grandparents loved so much,\" he said. \"Given that my mama let us spend so much time with her, I think she also rather enjoyed watching those passions blossom. Those times together, those happy memories, have now become massively precious to each and every one of us.\"
The queen was known to have her youngest family members visit her while she spent summers at Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Christmases at Sandringham, her country estate in Norfolk, England.
Most recently, in June, at the celebration of her Platinum Jubilee, the queen's interactions with William and Kate's son Louis, stole the show.

The queen was seen pointing things out to her great-grandson, 92 years her junior, and answering his questions as they watched the Trooping the Colour parade from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
