Eugene Levy asked the Prince of Wales: “Do you miss your grandmother?”
Prince William replied: “I do actually, yeah, I do miss my grandmother, and my grandfather.
“It’s been quite a bit of change, so you do sort of, you think about them not being here anymore, and particularly being in Windsor, for me Windsor is her. She loved it here, she spent most of her time here.
“Showing you around today is very much a case of trying to make sure I’m doing it in the way she’d want you to see it.
“She had her horses here as well, as you can imagine that was a big deal for her so that’s why she loved it here.”
