Overview
- Prince William published a short video on queenelizabeth.com on Tuesday that recalled quiet afternoons drinking tea at Windsor with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
- In the clip he emphasized informal moments — visits while he was at nearby Eton, shared stories over tea, and the Queen riding in the Great Park — to show a private side of her life.
- The recording is part of the digital memorial launched and expanded this centenary year to gather personal tributes, archival material and a map of places tied to the Queen’s life.
- Separately, the Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee continues work on a physical national memorial, with designs and a proposed Memorial Park in St. James’s Park reviewed by committee members and by King Charles and Queen Camilla.
- The video personalizes the late monarch beyond public duty, reinforces Windsor as a focal point for family memory, and keeps public consultation and design decisions for the national memorial under close attention as they progress.
