After attending a service at the Royal Lodge Windsor chapel, the Duke of York told the media, “I feel sorry for and support my mother, who probably feels it more than anyone else.”
“He was a remarkable man, I loved him as a father. He was so calm. If you had a problem, he would think about it,” said Andrew. “He was always someone you could turn to.”
The royal family themselves “all feel a great sense of loss,” the duke said. “We almost lost the nation’s grandfather.”
When asked how his mother feels, Andrew replied, “The Queen, as you might expect, is an incredibly stoic person. And she described his death as a miracle. And she thinks about it.
“She described it as a huge void in her life,” the Duke said, adding that the family “is gathering to make sure we are there to support her.”
