A TikTok<\/a> celebrating Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s bond with her grandsons, Prince William and Prince Harry, has gone viral, with 84,800 likes and more than 1 million views.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The video starts with William leading the late queen\u2019s grandchildren in a vigil, followed in order by Harry, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Lady Louise Windsor, James, Viscount Severn, and ending with Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips.<\/p>\n

Initially, Buckingham Palace had planned a vigil for the queen\u2019s children only, but one was later added for her grandchildren so Harry could wear his military uniform in tribute to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The video then cuts to touching moments with Queen Elizabeth II and her grandsons, including a clip of her making Prince William laugh during the Sovereign\u2019s Parade on December 15, 2006, as he graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It also shows Prince Harry kissing the late queen on both cheeks, alongside a clip of them smiling together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans couldn\u2019t help but get teary-eyed while watching the edit, with one person writing, “I still cry that she’s gone, she was a beautiful lady.” Another added, “She was mothers for them, too.”<\/p>\n

On Eugene Levy\u2019s Apple TV show The Reluctant Traveller<\/a>, Prince William opened up about missing the late queen and how Windsor Castle feels different without her.<\/p>\n

“I do actually, yeah, I do miss my grandmother, and my grandfather,” he said. “It’s been quite a bit of change, so you do sort of, you think about them not being here any more, and particularly being in Windsor \u2014 for me Windsor is her.”<\/p>\n

“She loved it here, she spent most of her time here,” he added, referring to the castle.<\/p>\n

Despite their shared love for their late grandmother, Prince William and Prince Harry have been unable to fully put aside their differences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Royal author Omid Scobie, who said in 2023, \u201cHarry was still waiting for that moment of accountability from his brother,\u201d told People<\/a> three years later, \u201cNothing has changed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expectations and wants and wishes of Prince Harry are exactly the same as they were then \u2014 and none of them have been met.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales have had a difficult relationship since 2020, when Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down as senior working members of the royal family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ball has been in William\u2019s court for some time now,\u201d Scobie said. \u201cAnd he\u2019s chosen not just to knock it back, but to kick it in the other direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
