As per tradition the Royal Family is sending out thank you cards following the passing and funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip.
The Duke’s son, Prince Charles, is one of many to begin posting out beautifully crafted cards to loyal fans who have offered their condolences over the loss.
And, it’s safe to say, Charles’ choice in card has feeling emotional all over again.
The Prince shared a retro black and white photo of himself as a child, approximately nine or 10-years-old with his father, Philip, boating during a visit to the Isle of Wight in 1958.
Charles chose a beautiful photo from his childhood.
(Instagram)The card, which has been shared by recipients via Instagram, reads: “The Prince of Wales thanks you so much for your very kind message of sympathy.
“His Royal Highness has been enormously touched by the many generous messages that have been received in recent days; they have provided great comfort at this very sad time.
“The Prince of Wales sends you his warmest thanks and best wishes.”
The message of thanks wasn’t the only one received by the royal fan.
The Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, sent a joint card of thanks.
The thank you note featured a much more recent photo of Philip and read: “Thank you for your kind message of condolence.”
“We are extremely grateful for your thoughtfulness in writing at this sad time.”
