While he noted that his grandpa will “be remembered as the longest-reigning consort to the Monarch,” he continued to say “he was my grandpa; master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right ’til the end.”

Harry concluded by saying that Philip will be remembered and missed by the nation and the world as well as by himself, Meghan, Archie, and their baby on the way.

Prince William released a statement, as well, saying "My grandfather was an extraordinary man and part of an extraordinary generation."
