Royal Family member Peter Phillips has reflected on his final days with his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, before her death in Scotland.

Mr Phillips praised his grandmother as a “figurehead” who had been part of everybody’s lives for as long as people could remember.

“I was lucky to be in Scotland before she passed and actually having those few days with her, just in Scotland, just as a family, before she left Balmoral – that was really nice,” he told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo.

“Looking back on it, still quite emotional that part because it was a proper family, the family moment.

“And then obviously once she left Balmoral, it became more of a public grieving, then in many ways, we had our quiet with her. We'd said our goodbyes.

“Whilst it still wasn't particularly easy, it was easier, being able to share the public's grief for her.”
