The 38-year-old wrote: "I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her."

Prince William concluded: "My grandfather was an extraordinary man and part of an extraordinary generation.
"Catherine and I will continue to do what he would have wanted and will support The Queen in the years ahead.
"I will miss my Grandpa, but I know he would want us to get on with the job."
