Meanwhile, historian and author of biography Battle of Brothers Robert Lacey told PEOPLE: “Philip was crucial in helping coach William as a future King.
“It was Philip’s idea to set up the lunches between William and his grandmother.
“When the time came for the Queen to talk business with William, Philip would quietly excuse himself because he didn’t feel that the constitutional side of the Queen’s job was something he wanted to interfere in.”
Meanwhile, Ms Junor said that Harry “very much got his sense of duty and active service from his grandfather”.
Both Harry and William attended Philip’s funeral last weekend.
