Princess Eugenie and sister Beatrice share moving tribute to the Queen

Prince Andrew's daughters words are beautiful

Princess Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice have paid tribute to their grandmother the Queen.

They share a short but touching message to the late monarch on social media Saturday afternoon.

The tribute read: “You were our matriarch, our guide, our loving hand on our backs leading us through this world.

“You taught us so much and we will cherish those lessons and memories forever.”

Alongside the moving words is a relaxed photo of the girls when they were little.

Earlier this week, Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank attended a service for the Queen at Westminster Hall.

The Queen is now lying-in-state in Westminster Hall as mourners have started paying their respects.

Her Majesty died on September 8 at her Balmoral estate at the age of 96.

On Wednesday, King Charles III lead a procession with other members of the Royal Family as they walked behind her coffin.

The Queen’s coffin was taken from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where it will stay until her state funeral on Monday, September 19.

It comes after Princess Anne became the latest royal to issue a statement on the loss of her beloved mother.

The Princess Royal said: “I was fortunate to share the last 24 hours of my dearest mother’s life.

“It has been an honour and a privilege to accompany her on her final journeys.

“Witnessing the love and respect shown by so many on these journeys has been both humbling and uplifting.

“We will all share unique memories. I offer my thanks to each and every one who share our sense of loss.

“We may have been reminded how much of her presence and contribution to our national identity we took for granted.
