Earlier this week,Princess Eugenieshared a touching tribute toPrince Philip, who she called simply “Grandpa,” on Instagram.
“I remember learning how to cook, how to paint, what to read.

I remember your hands and your laugh and your favourite beer.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Queen had to make some “difficult decisions” regarding who could attend with the 30-person limit.
“Ironically, it is probably how he would have liked,” former palace spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “No fuss, no bother. Right through his life, he never knew what all the fuss was about.”
