EXCLUSIVE: Royal commentators Hugo Vickers and Richard Fitzwilliam - as well as former royal butler Paul Burrell - recall the sweet moments between the grandmother-grandson duo
As the anniversary of her death approaches, royal expert Hugo Vickers says the late Queen Elizabeth II wanted to prepare a young Prince William for his role as future King and, over time, formed a close relationship with her grandson.
As a pupil studying at Eton College, the teenage prince would regularly visit his grandmother at nearby Windsor Castle, soaking up her knowledge and expertise on all things royal. "One day he will stand in that place as King and remember that little tea table with two places in front of the open fire where he would sit with his granny as she taught him about affairs of state, which is quite incredible," he revealed.
