Prince William’s heartfelt tribute amid celebrations for Queen’s 90th

The Duke of Cambridge paid a heartfelt tribute to the Queen yesterday, telling her “granny, thank you for everything you’ve done for your family” as Britain marked her 90th birthday.

As the weekend of celebrations marking the Queen’s milestone drew to a close, Prince William told thousands of well-wishers enjoying the patron’s lunch street party that the Queen was someone “we all look up to in good times and in challenging moments to set an example”.

The Queen, in response, made the crowds laugh when she joked about future renditions of ‘Happy Birthday’: “I much appreciate the kindness of all your birthday wishes, and have been delighted and moved by the many cards and messages I have received.
