Queen Elizabeth II shared a special bond with her grandchildren.

The queen, who died on Sept. 8 at age 96, and her husband, the late Prince Philip, shared eight grandchildren ranging from 44 years old to 14 years old.

While the monarch rarely spoke publicly about her family, she did share several sweet moments with her grandchildren at public events, including official royal outings and royal weddings.

In addition to being a grandmother, Queen Elizabeth was also a great-grandmother to 12, with her first great-grandchild being Peter Phillips' daughter, Savannah Phillips, in December 2010 and her most recent being Prince Harry's daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, in June 2021.

On April 21, 2023, the Prince and Princess of Wales' posted a photo on Instagram and Twitter of Queen Elizabeth with some of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren to mark what would have been her 97th birthday. In the caption, the royal couple explained that this photo was taken at Balmoral in 2022.

Born on November 15, 1977, to Princess Anne and Captain Mark Philips, Peter Phillips is Queen Elizabeth's first grandchild. Despite not having a royal title, Peter is 17th in the line of succession to the British throne.

While Peter isn't in the spotlight as much as his cousins Prince William and Prince Harry, he has attended a handful of royal events over the years, including Trooping the Colour in 2019, where he stood on the balcony alongside his children Savannah Phillips and Isla Phillips as well as his ex-wife Autumn Phillips, to whom he was married from 2008 to 2021.

In June 2022, Peter made his first public appearance with his girlfriend, Lindsay Wallace, at the Epsom Derby to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee. Wallace later sat with Peter and his daughters at King Charles' Coronation Concert in May 2023.

Born on May 15, 1981, to Princess Anne and Captain Mark Philips, Zara Tindall (née Phillips) is the Queen's second grandchild and first granddaughter. Like her brother, she doesn't have a royal title, but she is 20th in the line of succession to the British throne.

In July 2011, Zara married Mike Tindall at the Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland. Together, they have three children: Mia Tindall born in 2014, Lena Tindall born in 2018, and Lucas Tindall born in 2021.

Zara shares her grandmother's love for riding horses with an impressive equestrian career dating back to the early 2000s. She has also been by Queen Elizabeth's side for various royal events, including many Royal Ascots.

Born on June 21, 1982, to Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, Prince William is Queen Elizabeth's third grandchild. Following the Queen's death and his father's accession, William is now next in line for the throne.

On April 29, 2011, William tied the knot with Kate Middleton during an extravagant ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London. The couple has since welcomed three children together: Prince George in July 2013, Princess Charlotte in May 2015, and Prince Louis in April 2018.

William has shared many sweet moments with his grandmother over the years, including at various official royal events. Queen Elizabeth was also in attendance at William's royal wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011, at which she loaned her Cartier Halo tiara to the new Duchess of Cambridge.

On Sept. 9, 2022, the day after Queen Elizabeth died, King Charles officially named William and Middleton the Prince and Princess of Wales.

William had a special role in his father's May 2023 coronation: pledging his loyalty and allegiance to the King by reciting the Homage of Royal Blood. The following day, he gave a heartwarming speech on the grounds of Windsor Castle during the Coronation Concert.

"As my grandmother said when she was crowned, 'Coronations are a declaration of our hopes for the future,' " Prince William said, quoting the late Queen's 1953 coronation speech. "And I know she's up there, fondly keeping an eye on us. She would be a proud mother."

Born on September 15, 1984, to Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, Prince Harry is Queen Elizabeth's fourth grandchild. Following the birth of his brother Prince William's three children, the Duke of Sussex is fifth in line to the throne.

On May 19, 2018, he married Meghan Markle during a royal wedding at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The couple has since welcomed two children together, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor in May 2019 and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor in June 2021, the latter of which was named after the Queen.

Harry and the queen clearly shared a special bond, with Queen Elizabeth previously referring to him as her "dearly beloved" grandson and sharing many memorable moments with him at events over the years. (And who could forget the famous "mic drop" moment they filmed for the Invictus Games?)

"My grandmother and I were very close, and we very much did have a special relationship," he said in a January 2023 interview with PEOPLE. "I miss her dearly, as well as her cheeky sense of humor and quick wit."

The Duke of Sussex added, "I will forever cherish every memory I had with her, especially the times she spent with my children."

Born on August 8, 1988, to Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice is Queen Elizabeth's fifth grandchild. The royal is currently ninth in line to the throne.

On July 17, 2020, Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at Royal Chapel of All Saints, Royal Lodge, Windsor. For the special ceremony, she wore the Queen Mary Fringe Tiara which was also worn by the Queen at her own wedding — and repurposed a gown the Queen had worn in the 1950s to wear as a wedding gown. Through their marriage, Beatrice became a stepmother to Edoardo's son Christopher Woolf. She later gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, in September 2021.

"They are exceptionally close," a source told PEOPLE at the time of the wedding of Beatrice and Queen Elizabeth's bond. "Beatrice talks about her grandmother often, and it's clear there's a strong bond there — the dress and the tiara could not have been more perfect."

Born on March 23, 1990, to Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Princess Eugenie is Queen Elizabeth's sixth grandchild. Following the birth of her sister Beatrice's daughter, Eugenie is currently 11th in line to the throne.

On October 12, 2018, Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank during a royal wedding at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The couple later welcomed a son named August Philip Hawke Brooksbank in February 2021.

Ahead of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Eugenie shared with The Spectator magazine what she hopes her son learns from the Queen: "I think about my son August and what I'd like for him, what kind of world I'd like him to grow up in. And I think of my granny and what she has stood for, for so many people and for our family during these 70 years. I'd love Augie to have her patience, her calmness and her kindness, while always being able to laugh at himself and keep a twinkle in his eye."

On Jan. 24, 2023, Eugenie announced that she is expecting her second baby in both a statement released by Buckingham Palace and in an Instagram post. "We're so excited to share that there will be a new addition to our family this summer," she wrote online.
