Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Prince William Releases Statement On Prince Philip’s Death | TODAY

KEIR, GOOD MORNING.

>> Reporter: HEY, JENNA.

HEY, DYLAN.

GREAT TO SEE YOU BOTH TOGETHER.

PRODUCER KIKO HANDED ME A

STATEMENT FROM THE DUKE OF

CAMBRIDGE, PRINCE WILLIAM.

I HAVEN'T READ IT YET, BUT I'LL

READ A LITTLE BIT.

THIS IS BREAKING NEWS.

MY GRANDFATHER'S CENTURY OF LIFE

WAS DEFINED BY SERVICE TO HIS

COUNTRY AND TO THE COMMONWEALTH,

TO HIS WIFE AND QUEEN, AND TO

OUR FAMILY.

PRINCE WILLIAM SAYS, I FEEL

LUCKY TO HAVE NOT JUST HAD HIS

EXAMPLE TO GUIDE ME, BUT HIS

ENDURING PRESENCE WELL INTO MY

OWN ADULT LIFE.

IT GOES ON, WE'LL READ YOU SOME

MORE OF IT.

T BE EASY FOR

ANY MEMBER OF THE ROYAL FAMILY.

MOST OF ALL, THE QUEEN.

I WANT TO READ YOU A LITTLE MORE

OF THIS MOVING STATEMENT THAT

WE'VE JUST HAD FROM PRINCE

WILLIAM.

HE TALKS ABOUT HIS GRANDFATHER

MEETING MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY.

HE SAYS, I'LL NEVER TAKE FOR

GRANTED THE NMEMORIES MY CHILDRN

WILL HAVE OF THEIR GREAT GR

GRANDPA, COLLECTING THEM IN HIS

CARRIAGE, SEEING HIS INFECTIOUS

SENSE OF ADVENTURE.

THEN AT THE END, HE SAYS, I WILL

MISS MY GRANDPA, BUT I KNOW HE

WOULD WANT US TO GET ON WITH THE

JOB.

GUYS?

>> KEIR, IT'S JUST HAVING LOST

ALL OF MY GRANDPARENTS, I KNOW

HOW EMOTIONAL IT CAN BE.

WE TALK SO MUCH ABOUT THE ROYAL

FAMILY, AND IT IS JUST

HEARTWARMING TO HEAR JUST A

GRANDSON TALKING ABOUT HIS

GRANDFATHER.

>>

>> Reporter: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK WHAT WE'VE SEEN THROUGH

THIS WEEKEND IS THE QUEEN AND

PRINCE PHILIP'S CHILDREN TALKING

VERY OPENLY IN STATEMENTS AND TO

CAMERA, AND NOW YOU HEAR THAT

STATEMENT FROM PRINCE WILLIAM.

AGAIN, IT KIND OF UNDERSCORES

THIS SENSE OF THE END OF ON ERA,

OF THINGS MOVING ON.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE QUEEN, OF

COURSE, YET.

SHE IS THERE BEHIND ME IN

WINDSOR CASTLE.

SO MUCH FOCUS WILL BE ON HER ON

SATURDAY WHEN THE FUNERAL TAKES

PLACE.

IT WILL BE VERY MOVING TO SEE

HER ON HER
