King Charles delivered a touching tribute to his mother in a heartfelt video message, emphasizing her unwavering dedication to serving the people. Queen Camilla and other senior royals reviewed design proposals for the Queen Elizabeth Memorial at the British Museum, and Princess Anne inaugurated The Queen Elizabeth II Garden in London’s Regent’s Park.

Following these events, Prince Harry and the Princess of Wales joined other royal family members at Buckingham Palace for a reception with charities and organizations associated with the Queen. Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, had previously visited the UK for the Queen’s funeral, where Harry shared emotional sentiments about his grandmother’s impact on his life.

The late Queen is interred at the King George VI Memorial Chapel alongside her husband, Prince Philip, and other family members. Prince Harry’s heartfelt tributes and private gestures underscored the deep bond he shared with his grandmother, reinforcing her enduring legacy and impact on him and the world.
