85-year-old Enid Waterfall explained that after the death of her grandson Richard in 2018 from a rare form of cancer she and her husband were determined to raise funds in his name, and as a part of his legacy.
The pair raised a whopping £28,000 ($35,000) for the charity, and when Eugenie asked the grandmother to describe the process of building a legacy for her late grandson, the womans inspiring words saw most eyes on the calls left a little damp.
First of all, to hear about your grandson Richard what an amazing thing to do, in honour of his memory, Eugenie said to the inspiring woman. I think it almost chokes me up a bit because it must be so difficult to do that.
Strangely enough you feel closer to Richard when youre doing it, Mrs Waterfall said.

Eugenie was forced to fight back tears while listening to the inspiring testimony and later opened up about the harrowing experience of watching her father-in-law suffer from coronavirus in hospital this year.
Talking to NHS workers present Eugenie revealed a little about what she and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, went through when his father was diagnosed and treated for coronavirus.
Asking an NHS cancer nurse who was redeployed to a coronavirus ward during the pandemic about the toll communicating bad news had taken on her, Eugenie opened up about her and her husbands scary ordeal.
My husbands father was in hospital and every time we spoke to someone, who had to tell us the news, they had to ring every patients family that day, she told the nurse.
That mustve been such an awful thing to have to do.
Beatrice was also forced to adjust during the pandemic, with her highly-anticipated wedding to fiance Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi cancelled in keeping with lockdown measures.
