Omid Scobie wrote in Bazaar.com: "The love and respect he has for his grandmother will always be unwavering.
“This trip was to honour the life of his grandfather and support his grandmother and relatives.
"It was very much a family-focused period of time. Saturday broke the ice for future conversations but outstanding issues have not been addressed at any great length.
"The family simply put their issues to one side to focus on what mattered.”

Scobie co-wrote Finding Freedom, an explosive book telling the story of the Duke and Duchesses decision to step away from royal life - although they claim they had no input.
He also confirmed Harry stayed at Frogmore Cottage in the grounds of Windsor Castle while he was in the country, before issuing the couple's tribute to Philip.
Harry saw a number of family members, a source told Scobie, including Princess Eugenie and her newborn son.
He also had the first face-to-face conversations with his dad and brother since officially stepping down as senior royals last year.
QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY
The Queen is celebrating her 95th birthday today, after Harry touched down back in the US yesterday.
She issued a personal message thanking the nation for support and kindness following Prince Philip's death.
It was thought Harry might stay to see his grandmother on her birthday, after buying an open-ended ticket - but with pregnant Meghan Markle at home in the US he rushed back.
Scobie claims while no plans have been officially confirmed, Prince Harry is expected to come back to the UK in July.
This would be for the unveiling of a statue of his late mum, Princess Diana.
He is thought to be planning to join brother William for a ceremony at Kensington Palace, rescheduled from last summer.Harry flew to Los Angeles on an American Airlines flight from London, which arrived at LAX shortly after 1.30pm local time on Tuesday.
His black 4x4 was seen leaving the airport’s private terminal minutes after the plane landed and was spotted again arriving in Montecito at around 4pm.
The royal’s return follows a summit at Frogmore Cottage with Prince William, Kate and Prince Charles.
