Two days after Her Majesty’s death , Kensington Palace released a moving statement from the Prince of Wales. William, who is now the heir to the throne, mentioned Catherine and their kids in his statement saying, “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.”
