The Prince of tributes

-

PRINCE Charles has bid a final farewell to his godmother, Countess Mountbatte­n of Burma.

He yesterday gave a private address at the funeral service for Lord Mountbatte­n’s daughter.

Charles was joined by the Queen and Prince Philip. Greeting them at St Paul’s Church in Knightsbri­dge, West London, he tenderly kissed his mum’s hand, and his dad’s cheek.

He has described the Countess, born Patricia Knatchbull, as a “very special godmother”.

The Queen was bridesmaid for her.

She died at home in Mersham, Kent, aged 93, earlier this month.
