Princess Eugenie posts heartrending tribute to Prince Philip ahead of funeral - 7NEWS.com.au

Princess Eugenie has made a heartfelt promise to her late grandfather ahead of his funeral on Saturday.

As part of a lengthy tribute to Philip, Eugenie poignantly spoke of his love for his wife, the Queen.

“Thank you for your dedication and love for us all and especially Granny, who we will look after for you.”

The Duke of Edinburgh died last Friday aged 99.

Australians can watch LIVE coverage of Prince Philip’s funeral from 9:30PM AEST this Saturday 17 April on 7NEWS.com.au, Channel 7 and 7plus.

He will be farewelled at a ceremony at Windsor Castle on Saturday night.

Eugenie, Philip’s granddaughter, will be one of just 30 guests at the funeral due to limitations imposed by the pandemic.

On Thursday Eugenie made an emotional tribute to her grandpa, saying he would have been “so touched” by the tributes shared in the wake of his passing.

“People remember sitting next to you at a dinner, or shaking your hand once, who remember you saying hello in passing, or remember how much their DofE award meant to them,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I remember learning how to cook, how to paint, what to read. I remember laughing at your jokes and asking about your spectacular life and service in the navy.

“I remember incinerating the sausages and you swooping in to save the day.⁣

“I remember your hands and your laugh and your favourite beer.

“I will remember you in your children, your grandchildren and great grandchildren.”

She shared the post alongside photographs of her and her sister Princess Beatrice standing with Philip.

Eugenie had not spoken about Philip’s passing up until her post on Thursday.

It’s believed she waited until her cousins, William and Harry, made public comments.
