"Dearest Grandpa": Princess Eugenie's open letter to Prince Philip

Princess Eugenie is the latest member of the British Royal Family to pay tribute to Prince Philip.

As granddaughter to the Duke of Edinburgh, the 31-year-old wrote an open letter to her "Dearest Grandpa" on social media.

"We all miss you," she began alongside two images. "⁣⁣You would be so touched by all the tributes that have been shared with me the past few days. ⁣⁣

"People remember sitting next to you at a dinner, or shaking your hand once, who remember you saying hello in passing, or remember how much their DofE award meant to them.

"⁣⁣I remember learning how to cook, how to paint, what to read. I remember laughing at your jokes and asking about your spectacular life and service in the navy. ⁣

"I remember incinerating the sausages and you swooping in to save the day. ⁣I remember your hands and your laugh and your favourite beer.

"⁣⁣I will remember you in your children, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. ⁣⁣Thank you for your dedication and love for us all and especially Granny, who we will look after for you. ⁣⁣With all my love ⁣Eugenie."

Princess Eugenie, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, is the latest of Prince Philip's eight grandchildren to pay tribute to the 99-year-old, who died last Friday, April 9.
