Subscriber only Prince William said he will miss my Grandpa in his first statement following Prince Philip s death. My grandfather s century of life was defined by service - to his country and Commonwealth, to his wife and Queen, and to our family, Prince William said. I feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide me, but his enduring presence well into my own adult life - both through good times and the hardest days. I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her. I will never take for granted the special memories my children will always have of their great-grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage and seeing for themselves his infectious sense of adventure as well as his mischievous sense of humour!
