While visiting Windsor Castle with husband Prince William and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton relayed to fans a comment her youngest son made about Queen Elizabeth after her death.

At age 4, Prince Louis brought to mind a beautiful and heartbreaking scene following the loss of Queen Elizabeth.

While greeting supporters of the late monarch at Windsor Castle on Sept. 10, the boy’s mother Kate Middleton, the new Princess of Wales (formerly Duchess of Cambridge), relayed her youngest son’s words to her about his paternal great-grandmother.

One well-wisher, Banita Ranow, said Kate told a group of children, “Louis said at least Grannie is with great grandpa now,” the Sunday Times reported. Banita said the princess was “welling up” as she spoke, according to the outlet.

The queen died at age 96 on Sept. 8. She was preceded in death by her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, who passed away at age 99 in 2021.

At Windsor Castle, Kate was accompanied by husband and now-heir to the throne, Prince William, with whom she also shares children Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince George, 9, who, according to a 2016 ITV documentary interview with the princess, called the monarch “Gan-Gan” when he was a toddler.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were joined by William’s brother Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, who were photographed with the couple for the first time in more than two years amid reported tensions between the families, fueled by the latter pair’s 2020 royal exit.

The Waleses and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex barely interacted. They walked together, with the brothers in the middle, as they made their way to the gates, where they observed fans’ flowers and other gifts, and then split up to greet the well-wishers.
