Prince Edward's wife breaks down mid-interview
Prince Edward's wife Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, revealed that Prince Philip's death has left a "giant-sized hole" in the royal family.
She also spoke about the pandemic has "slightly skewed things", which means that the royal family haven't been able to grieve properly.
Despite the Duke of Edinburgh passing away "peacefully" at Windsor Castle on April 9th, the family aren't coping properly two months on from his death.
She spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live and said that Prince Philip's death left a "giant-sized hole in our lives".
“Well he has left a giant-sized hole in our lives," she began.
“I think the pandemic has unfortunately slightly skewed things in as much as it’s hard to spend as much time with the Queen as we would like to.
“We’ve been trying to, but of course it’s still not that easy.
“And of course the normal way of things isn’t normal yet so we’re not necessarily doing the things that we would normally have done with him.
“So I think the whole grieving process is probably likely for us to take a lot longer. It may be the same for many other families out there.
“Because if you’re not living with somebody, 24/7, the immediate loss isn’t necessarily felt in the same way, as if somebody was in the house with you all the time.”
Interviewer Naga Munchetty saw that Sophie's eyes began to fill with tears and asked her if she was okay.
Sophie responded: “It’s only when you would do the normal things that you would have done with them, and you suddenly realise that they are not there, that you really start to have an ‘oh my goodness’ moment.
“Just talking to you now, it’s a bit of an ‘oh my goodness’ moment. I think they’ll come and go. But you have to let them come and go.”
