Wills and Kate 'talk about death to guide kids through grief', says Royal expert

When the Duke of Edinburgh died at the grand old age of 99 last April, the nation mourned the loss of a dutiful prince whose extraordinary life ranged from heroic wartime exploits to loyal consort to the Queen.“There’s no doubt that Philip was the heart of the royal family, the fun figure everyone loved,” says royal expert Duncan Larcombe. “The burden of monarchy was always on his wife’s shoulders so that gave Philip the opportunity to be the fun-filled father, grandfather and great grandfather.

With William suffering the grief of his mother Princess Diana’s death when he was just 15, it seems likely that he and Kate were determined to ensure their children were well supported and able to grieve properly for their great-grandfather. “So William and Kate have had to come up with a way of explaining to the young royals what’s happened so that they hear it from mum and dad rather than school friends or via social media.”

“The children probably hadn’t seen their great-grandfather for a while. It’s an added heartbreak for them all.”
