Kate replied, “Her Majesty was looking down on us.”

One day before her funeral on Monday, September 19, a rainbow appeared once more over London’s Westminster Hall, where the late monarch was lying in state.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been open about grieving Elizabeth in the week since her death. “On Thursday, the world lost an extraordinary leader, whose commitment to the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth was absolute,” William, 40, said in a statement shared via social media on September 10. “I, however, have lost a grandmother. And while I will grieve her loss, I also feel incredibly grateful. I have had the benefit of the queen’s wisdom and reassurance into my fifth decade.”
He continued, “My wife has had twenty years of her guidance and support. My three children have got to spend holidays with her and create memories that will last their whole lives.”
