Tributes and Memories Shared for Late Prince Philip

The royal family has been reminiscing about the late Prince Philip, who passed away at the age of 99 last week.

Among the heartfelt tributes are rare candid snapshots capturing the royals in their everyday lives.

Notably, a touching photo of the Duke and Prince George in a carriage was shared by Prince William, accompanied by a poignant statement honoring his grandfather.

In the lead-up to Prince Philip's funeral, Queen Elizabeth II and her grandson-in-law, Mike Tindall, took to Instagram to pay their respects to the late Prince.

In a sweet tribute post, Mike shared a previously unseen image of Philip, referring to him as a devoted family man.

Reflecting on the somber week, Mike expressed sadness but also gratitude for the cherished memories ahead of the funeral scheduled for Saturday.

The endearing tribute photo, captured by Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, captures a moment between Mia Tindall, the eldest daughter of Mike and Zara Tindall, and her great-grandfather.

The scene unfolds outside a log cabin, where Mia engages in conversation with her grandfather as he enjoys a meal.

The setting hints at the Sandringham Estate, where the Duke resided at Wood Farm from 2017 onwards.

The heartwarming family portrait includes Mike and Zara's three children, with their youngest daughter, Lena, making her debut in a royal setting earlier this week.

Lena is held by her cousin Isla, Peter Phillips' youngest daughter, in the photograph that also features several other members of the royal family, including the Queen, Prince Philip, and their great-grandchildren.

Before Prince Philip's passing, Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall paid tribute to their grandfather by naming their newborns in his honor.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank welcomed August Philip Hawk Brooksbank, the Queen and Duke's ninth great-grandchild, on February 9th.

Following suit, Zara and Mike named their third child, Lucas Philip Tindall, born a month later, as a nod to the late Duke.

Unfortunately, due to safety restrictions amid the pandemic, Prince Philip did not have the opportunity to meet his youngest great-grandsons.

Zara gave birth to Lucas in her bathroom on March 21st, with the Queen and Prince Philip expressing their joy at the new arrival and their anticipation of meeting their tenth great-grandchild when circumstances allow.

On a somber note, the Queen announced Prince Philip's passing, marking a moment of deep sorrow for the royal family and people worldwide.

His funeral, held at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, was a subdued affair due to Covid-19 restrictions, with only 30 close family members and friends in attendance.

This intimate setting was fitting for the Duke, known for his preference for simplicity and lack of pomp throughout his life.
