In some photos, the Queen’s
middle son was seen out riding his horse in Windsor, near his mother’s final
resting place. In the snaps, the Prince was dressed head to toe in riding
attire which consisted of a blue jumper and matching tie.
On Monday, Andrew joined his
royal siblings and proceeded behind his mother’s coffin as it made its way from
Westminster Abbey to its final resting place in Windsor where she now lays to
rest with her parents and late husband Prince Philip, in St. George’s chapel.
Hours before the emotional
day, the Duke released a touching statement dedicated to his late mother.
It read: “Dear Mummy, Mother, Your Majesty, three in one.
“Your Majesty, it has been an
honour and privilege to serve you. Mother – of the nation, your devotion and
personal service to our nation is unique and singular; your people show their
love and respect in so many different ways and I know you are looking on
honouring their respect.
“Mummy, your love for a
son, your compassion, your care, your confidence I will treasure forever. I
have found your knowledge and wisdom infinite, with no boundary or containment.
“I will miss your
insights, advice and humour. As our book of experiences closes, another opens,
and I will forever hold you close to my heart with my deepest love and
gratitude, and I will tread gladly into the next with you as my guide.”
