The Prince also said his children would have “memories that will last a lifetime” from their time with the late Queen, adding that he would “honor her memory” by supporting his father, the King. King Charles III announced William and Kate as the new Prince and Princess of Wales in his historic address to the nation on Friday night. He settled his affairs on the TV show, saying he was proud to bestow the title of Prince of Wales on his eldest son and heir. In a statement released on Saturday afternoon, the new Prince said that while the country had lost an “extraordinary leader”, he had “lost a grandmother”. He said that while he would mourn her loss, he also felt “incredibly grateful” to have had the benefit of the late queen’s wisdom throughout his life. He also said his wife, the new Princess of Wales, had “20 years of her guidance and support”.
