In addition to some bombshell claims, a new royal biography has unearthed a sweet anecdote about Prince William and the late Prince Philip. The Prince of Wales, 41, reportedly had the unique ability to get his grandfather to go from “grumpy” to “cheerful,” which Queen Elizabeth II “appreciated.”
The queen was ‘always grateful’ when William got Philip out of his ‘cantankerous moods’
The former Duke of Edinburgh, who died in April 2021 at 99, could always count on his grandson, William, to lift his spirits.
According to an excerpt from royal biographer Ingrid Seward’s new book, My Mother and I, the queen “appreciated” the influence William had on her husband and his typically curt mood.
Put it this way: Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York and ex-wife of Prince Andrew described Philip as “terrifying” in 2023.
“The queen particularly appreciated William’s ability to make Prince Philip laugh,” Seward wrote in an excerpt published by the Daily Mail.
