Also on Sept. 18, the queen's second son shared a personal tribute to his mother. He wrote:
"Dear Mummy, Mother, Your Majesty, three in one. Your Majesty, it has been an honor and privilege to serve you. Mother — of the nation, your devotion and personal service to our nation is unique and singular; your people show their love and respect in so many different ways and I know you are looking on honoring their respect.
Mummy, your love for a son, your compassion, your are, your confidence I will treasure forever. I have found your knowledge and wisdom invite, with no boundary or containment. I will miss your insights, advice and humuor. As our book of experiences closes, another opens, and I will forever hold you close to my heart with my deepest love and gratitude, and I will tread gladly into the next with you as my guide.
God save The King."
