Last year’s June attacks claimed the lives of 30British nationals, marking the worst terrorist incident involving Britons sincethe July 7 attacks in London, over a decade ago.

Harry has previously opened up about stepping into roles for his grandmother. During the documentary OurQueen at Ninety, he admitted,"People have always said, 'Do you feel as though you are following in herfootsteps?' That's exactly what we are doing. There is nowhere on this planetthat I can think of, that she hasn't been in the last 90 years.”

The prince added, "She has beeneverywhere and that's sometimes quite hard, because you go to a place where shehasn't visited for maybe 20 years, maybe 15, and you just think to yourself, 'Howcan I ever fulfill this huge expectation that comes with her and being a memberof her family?'"

The expectation to carry out engagements is also heavy considering he sees his grandmother as his "boss." In an upcoming documentary for the BBC, titled Elizabeth at 90 - A Family Tribute, Prince George's uncle revealed, "I still view her more as the Queen than my grandmother. You have this huge amount of respect for your boss and I always view her as my boss – but occasionally as a grandmother."
