Prince William gets emotional reminiscing moments with Prince Philip

The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William got sentimental over spending his Christmas with his late grandfather Prince Philip while recalling the good old days.

During a chat at the Apple Fitness Time to Walk Series, William said, “My family spend their Christmases in Norfolk at Sandringham, which is in the UK. Walking along here, you've got big pine trees that are quite synonymous with this part of Norfolk. And I love the smell of pine in the winter. It's very soothing. It's been a walk that my family have done for many, many years on the way to church on Christmas Day. It must be at least 25 years by now."

Prince Philip passed away at 99 in April 2021 and reminiscing about him, William revealed, “I have strong memories of walking down here, and my grandfather, he used to walk so fast that there'd be huge gaps and spaces between all of us walking down, and there'd be us at the back with little legs trying to keep up. You know, I think, over time, you start to feel quite attached to those moments and those memories before."

Opening up on his childhood, he stated, “We sit opposite each other as a family, and growing up, having my cousins sat opposite me has always been quite difficult to keep a straight face at times. I have had the giggles many, many times in the service. Luckily, no one's filming it. So you can get away with it, and on Christmas Day, it's fun to have a giggle and enjoy yourself."
