Harry's moving tribute comes just a couple of days after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were reunited with the Prince and Princess of Wales as they greeted crowds who were paying their respects at Windsor Castle over the weekend. Harry and Meghan and William and Kate arrived by car and admired the many flowers and written tributes laid by onlookers, before greeting members of the public. One sweet moment saw Meghan approach a young girl who asked Meghan for a hug. The Duchess then sweetly told the girl and others in the crowd their presence was much appreciated by the family.
During the same Windsor appearance, the Princess of Wales made a comment about how her three children have helped her cope with the grief following the Queen's sad passing. In one sweet moment shared on Twitter, Kate could be heard telling one onlooker that her youngest child, Prince Louis, told his mother not to worry and that 'Gan Gan is now with great-grandpa', referring to the sweet nickname the young royals coined for the monarch.
