Prince William has poignantly opened up about missing his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II — three years after the late monarch’s death.
The Prince of Wales, 43, took “Schitt’s Creek” star Eugene Levy on a private tour of Windsor Castle, sharing Her Majesty’s favorite spots around the lavish Berkshire estate.
In a preview of the upcoming episode from the Apple TV+ series “The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy,” the actor can be seen speaking to William about the many changes that have rocked the royal family following Elizabeth’s death in Sept. 2022 at age 96.
“I do actually, yeah I do miss my grandmother, and my grandfather,” William tells Levy in the King’s drawing room in the late Queen’s beloved royal residence.
“Yeah, it’s been quite a bit of change, so you do sort of, you think about them not being here anymore and particularly being in Windsor, for me Windsor is her,” the future king continued.
“So, she loved it here, she spent most of her time here.”
During the Second World War, Windsor Castle served as then-Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret’s main base, where the sisters spent most of their time together.
“Showing you around today is very much a case of trying to make sure I’m doing it in the way she’d want you to see it,” William told Levy, 78.
Throughout her lengthy reign, the late queen would always spend most of her time at Windsor, especially during the later years of her life.
The home was doubly special to the royals, as the late Prince Philip was a ranger of Windsor Great Park for nearly 70 years — meaning he had a lot of say in the stewardship of the grounds and its design.
The series, which sees Levy travel across the globe, is also set to feature special guests including Grammy winner Michael Bublé, Levy’s daughter and “Schitt’s Creek” co-star Sarah Levy, among others.
New episodes of the series premiere weekly until its finale on Oct. 31, with Levy’s special royal episode set to be released on Oct. 3.
Elsewhere in the episode, the Prince of Wales even cracked a joke about getting drunk with the actor after asking him if he ever imagined the day would come when the two of them would be sharing drinks.
“Was getting drunk with Prince William on your bucket list?” the future king asked the actor in a teaser clip of his travel show.
“That’s the bucket,” the “Best in Show” actor said in response, prompting William to clarify, “That’s the bucket, is it?”
