Prince Charles chose a sentimental photo of his father Prince Philip to thank fans for their outpouring of support in the wake of the Duke of Edinburgh's death.
Instagram user Lise M shared a thank you card she received from Prince Charles' office after sending him a note of condolences following Prince Philip's death on April 9. The letter contained a black and white image from 1958, which showed a young Charles riding with his father in a small motorboat at Cowes, Isle of Wight.

Ceremony – weddings, christenings, funerals, coronations – is what the British royals do best in public, and with roughly 10 centuries worth of experience, it's no wonder. Now we're about to see how they do a major funeral during a pandemic, when Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, is laid to rest on Saturday.
The royal ceremonial funeral for Queen Elizabeth II's husband of 73 years, who died April 9 at Windsor Castle at age 99, will combine antique tradition, the restraints of the coronavirus pandemic, the transcendence of the Church of England funeral rite and the idiosyncratic "no fuss" personality of the "Iron Duke" himself.

The brothers, who are the sons of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, both participated in the service for the Duke of Edinburgh, which took place at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Due to COVID protocols, only 30 close family members and friends were invited to attend the service, which was televised.
At one particularly poignant moment, 36-year-old Harry and 38-year-old William, who had not seen each other face-to-face publicly prior to the service, walked behind the coffin of their grandfather, which was riding on a custom Land Rover.
