Prince Andrew breaks silence on Queen's death during Balmoral tributes visit
Prince Andrew has broken his silence following the sad death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II earlier this week. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away following months of health and mobility issues, and in the days that have followed, numerous family members have shared statement and tributes online. After deciding against making a statement, Andrew shared his grief while visiting flowers that have been laid out at Balmoral, where the Queen died on Thursday. Asked by a mourner how things were, Andrew said: “We’ve been allowed one day, now we start the process of handing her on.” He added: “It’s nice to see you, thank you for coming.” On Sunday, the Queen’s coffin is expected to be taken by road to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. Andrew and his two daughters were joined by two of the Queen’s children, the Princess Royal and the Earl of Wessex, the Countess of Wessex, Anne’s husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence and the Queen’s grandchildren Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall and Lady Louise Windsor at the service on Saturday.
