In a rare and heartfelt television appearance, Prince William has admitted he still deeply misses his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Speaking candidly during an upcoming episode of Eugene Levy’s Apple TV+ series The Reluctant Traveler, the 43-year-old Prince of Wales reflected on her death and the lasting impact she left on him.
William welcomed the Schitt’s Creek star to Windsor Castle, a place deeply tied to the late queen. Seated together in the King’s Drawing Room, overlooking Eton College and West London, Levy gently asked: “Do you miss your grandmother?”
William softly replied: “I do actually, yeah. I do miss my grandmother and my grandfather.”
This intimate moment is one of the few times the heir to the throne has spoken publicly about the queen since her passing in September 2022.
“For Me, Windsor Is Her”
Reflecting on how much life has changed since the deaths of both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, William shared how Windsor continues to remind him of his grandmother.
“It’s been quite a bit of change. You think about them not being here anymore,” he said. “Particularly being in Windsor. For me, Windsor is her.”
He explained that giving Eugene a tour was also a way to honor the queen: “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.”
