In a biography devoted to The Queen titled, Elizabeth II: The Steadfast, Prince William has honoured his grandmother by writing the preface.
“I think I speak for my generation when I say that the example and continuity provided by The Queen is not only very rare among leaders but a great source of pride and reassurance,” writes the dad-of-two.
The book is set to be published ahead of two incredible landmarks for Her Majesty, one being her 90th birthday on April 21st 2016 and the other, her stunning achievement as Britain’s longest serving Monarch.
In the preface for the biography, the Duke of Cambridge also touched on the role model The Queen has been for him not only as a future monarch himself but also as a grandson.
“The Queen’s kindness and sense of humour, her innate sense of calm and perspective and her love of family and home are all attributes I experience first-hand,” he penned.
Prince William’s heartfelt letter about his grandmother is a very rare public show of affection.
He also didn’t fail to discuss the importance of the love shared between his grandparents: “I should add that no mention of The Queen is complete without paying tribute to my grandfather Prince Philip, who has devoted his life to supporting her.”
He continued: “All of us who will inherit the legacy of my grandmother’s reign and generation need to do all he can to celebrate and learn from her story.”
The preface ends with a very personal mention, “speaking for myself, I am privileged to have The Queen as a model for a life of service to the public.”
