My message to everyone is don’t stand still, don’t stay silent – make them hear you because you speak for the majority.”He is now expected to head to the airport and fly home to California to be with his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

He began his stay by leaving flowers at the final resting place of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to mark the third anniversary of her death.Just seven miles down the road from the Queen’s burial site in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, Prince William remembered the late Queen at the National Federation of Women’s Institutes in Sunningdale, Berkshire.
