The death of Queen Elizabeth II is difficult for her great-grandchildren to understand.
Prince Louis, of all people, shows particular foresight about their loss.
Windsor – Queen Elizabeth II (96, † 2022) has left a void in the British royal family and the world of nobility that is difficult to put into words.
Not only was she an extraordinary regent, but also a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and much more.
The pain after her death runs deep, even with the youngest royal generation.

The death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8 has sparked a wave of sympathy.
A sea of flowers in front of Buckingham Palace in London is reminiscent of the exceptional regent, and there are also numerous floral arrangements and cards in front of Windsor Castle.
The mourners gathered there were even able to deliver their condolences in person.
Accompanied by Prince Harry (37) and Meghan Markle (41), Prince William (40) and Kate Middleton (40) received flowers in Windsor and also shared moving words.
The Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge confided in waiting children how her youngest son Prince Louis (4) reacted to the death of his great-grandmother.
"Louis said at least Grannie is with great-grandfather now," Kate said, according to royal expert Robert Jobson.

Queen biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People that the Duchess studied Queen Elizabeth II so as not to leave anything to chance when her time came.
"She knows what matters.
She'll have absorbed a lot from that queen," Smith said.
Despite being 56 years apart, the late Queen and Kate share similar attributes that the role of Queen entails: stoicism, discretion and loyalty.
It remains to be seen how the Queen's royal motto for public life: "Never complain, never explain" is ordered.
