What made 'Granny' Queen Elizabeth II special to Royal grandchildren

It's important to remember that there is a family out there grieving the loss of their mother, their grandmother, their great-grandmother. So to help remember the

Queen

from those who knew her best, here are some of her

royal

grandchildren

, in their own words, about

what

made

Grandma so

special

to imagine when she crossed the river and walking through the woods, this was grandma's house, you went to Buckingham Palace, thinking big about grandma is pretty easy because she's this incredibly passionate woman who has transcended every generation and you know we do. We are very fortunate that we not only see her as an incredible

queen

and an incredible leader, but also as an incredible grandmother for someone like me who grows up with the

queen

so to speak, because my grandmother looks back on history and you know, did she really do that, did that really happen?

I think the meaning comes in the future if you look back and go, that was her reign and that is

what

happened and how impressive is it despite all the pomp and glitz that her

grandchildren

insist on being behind the palace walls was no different than any other grandmother she can see it here on her 90th birthday telling william to put his feet up on the palace balcony which great grandson georg named to her gangan we look up like any granddaughter or to the grandmother with a bit more i think when we spend family time we always have fun there is a different dynamic in every family william and harry served in the british military they had to look at their grandmother in a different way because of my time in the service which i didn't only as a grandmother, since she was my boss for 10 years and i saw things very much like that, but after his military service was over, look

what

happened t when grandson harry

made

a promo video for his charity, the invictus games for wounded warriors you told us to bring it to the invictus games.

Be careful

what

you wish for Boom. Prince Harry knew only one answer could top the White House. I don't want you to back her into a corner but when I showed her the video and told her she was right

what

do we have to do let's do this oh really please

what

happens behind closed doors in everyone's life , should be private in my opinion so she nailed that balance pretty well there are little moments where we can just be us very little family just doing little things like playing cards or

what

ever and she likes it just having her time because it's the time we all just kinda hang out together and it's quite nice that she taught her granddaughters a british card game called patience which is the hardest game ever and i have not very much patience, um, so when we play it's pretty fun because she'll be sitting there for a good hour and a half and I'll face her and she'll win a few times and I will e just be like we've been growing up all our lives going to our morals and sounding like Christmas and it's the incredibly

special

time for us because we've only spent that time with her and our family not just with ourselves, not with the whole world watching.

Balmoral, where we go in the summer, has the most incredible wild raspberries on the entire property, so we used them when we were little to go with her and pick the raspberries and then drink the jam and tea, now as the

queen

supported them they tried to be there for her when the wall of britannia was decommissioned in 1997 a very universal and really emotional day for you to be at the decommissioned ceremony. I think it was one of the few times that she kind of cried in public. Princesses and princes may live in a different world, but they take it like anyone else.

Her life lessons from her grandparents have set me an incredible example for others to follow their lead, their duty, their sacrifice, their selflessness, their love for... Country. I think they really really shine with their determination, their commitment but also their sense of fun and their love of life. I think those are some things I would really like to take with me. I'm going ahead She taught me to always be true to myself and stand up and be strong. I am who I am My opinion is that I believe in it, but I won't tell you more than that.

To her duty and the way she was brought up, it is very, very important that she put aside her own personal feelings and her own personal thoughts and go

what

is for the greater good,

what

is for the good of the country and in some Cases for the good of the world and I think whether she was the

queen

or not I think everyone and everyone who has been or has been so involved in public life I think they deserve a massive backstab and credit for that the example, if people took just a little bit of that away in their own lives, you know I think the world would be a better place
