Princess Eugenie Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Queen Elizabeth Eve of Her Platinum Jubilee
Princess Eugenie paid heartfelt tributes to her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, on the eve of their Platinum Jubilee month, just days after it was revealed that she had left the UK and moved to Portugal with her husband, Jack Brooksbank.
Eugenie, one of the Queen's eight grandchildren and daughter of the disgraced Prince Andrew, wrote a long yet running article for Spectator magazine titled My Pride in Granny, in which she said: "Seventy years is quite a lot, indeed. No?"
"Jubilee stands as a testimony to a woman who has transcended time and has been a constant rock to many when the world may feel so fragile," he said.
The 32-year-old princess recounted extensively in her article about the 2012 jubilee year, writing how one thing she remembered most was "to see my grandmother and grandfather standing in the rain for eight hours, waving and smiling, and Keeping the family and the nation moving forward like they did for so many years."
He then reflects on how his life has changed since the 21-year-old university graduate.
Eugenie said, "I've given my life to my special little family and look forward to providing an inch of the values my grandmother lived her life."
She continued: "I think of my son August and what I want for him, what kind of world I want him to grow up in. And I think of my grandmother and what she is to so many people." Stands for and for our family during these 70 years."
"I love Oggy for his patience, his calmness, and his kindness, while always being able to laugh at himself and keep a gleam in his eyes."
The Queen is currently in Windsor after taking a short break at Balmoral before the Jubilee festivities begin this weekend.
