The former Rugby player joined Good morning Britain on Friday and opened up about attending the funeral of Prine Phillip who is the grandfather of wife Zara.
Speaking to Kate Garraway and Ben Shepherd, the retired rugby player revealed that he was full of admiration for the Queen while admitting that they weren’t able to be with her following the funeral. He said: “That’s what she does, she leads by example. I say it was amazing to see but I didn’t really want to see it, everyone’s seen it now. Even after the funeral, it was like, ‘Right you all need to leave,’ so you didn’t get to have that supportive side afterwards.
He continued: “I think the way that the funeral was planned and run was exceptional. It was seeing his carriage ponies and the gloves and the sugar cube box and all of that lined up, I think if he was looking down – being in the middle of the pandemic where it was a bit more lowkey – he would have been a bit happier with it, while the rest of us would probably have liked it to have been more of a celebration.”
