Camilla has The Queen’s “unforgettable smile” in a touching interview.

The new Queen Consort says: “She’s been part of our lives forever. I’m 75 and can’t remember anyone except the Queen being there,” The Sun reports.

“It must have been so difficult for her being a solitary woman.

“There weren’t women Prime Ministers or Presidents.

“She carved her own role.

“She’s got those wonderful blue eyes that light up her face.

“I’ll always remember her smile, it’s unforgettable.”

On Saturday, Princes William, 40, and Harry, 38, stood together in a united front for a historic vigil at the Queen’s coffin.

The brothers put aside their differences to lead all eight of Her Majesty’s grandchildren at the ceremony in Westminster Hall.

The Queen’s treasured grandchildren stood side-by-side last night in the ­ultimate show of respect for their beloved “Granny”.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie earlier paid tribute, thanking the Queen for making them laugh and for picking heather and raspberries.

After two knocks of a guardsman’s staff on the stone floor all eight then emerged down the Grand Committee staircase — to the surprise of wellwishers who had queued for hours to view the coffin.

Sophie Wessex appeared in tears as she looked on from a balcony with Prince Edward.

Harry walked behind William so the formation could break with Wills at the head of the coffin and Harry at the rear.

Prince Andrew’s daughters Eugenie, 32, and Beatrice, 34, walked side-by-side in front of the Wessexes’ youngsters Lady Louise Windsor, 18, and James, Viscount Severn, 14.

Princess Anne’s children Peter Phillips, 44, and Zara Tindall, 41, were at the back.
