“In cricket, most people want to get to a century,” the Duke of Sussex explained. “He had fantastic innings and it’s almost as though, at 99, he scored a six – but he didn’t actually want to get a century. 

“More than anything, I miss his humour. Bur I miss him more for my grandmother because I know how incredibly strong she was with him there.

“I also know how she’s going to be okay without him.

“But really, they loved it when things go wrong, as they were so used to things going right all the time. They found it exciting. 

“I remember the expressions on his face when we were younger, and there was all this craziness happening around him.

“He’d sit there with his arms crossed, so completely calmly, and watch us run by and say ‘zoom’. He made time for all of us.”
