On Friday it became known that Prince Philip is dead, 99 years old. The funeral will take place on Saturday and Wednesday, three days before Prince William (38) and Duchess Kate (39) release a picture of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth (94) with their seven great-grandchildren to honor Prince William’s deceased grandfather.

The picture shows Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip with the children Prince George, Prince Louis, Savannah Phillips, Princess Charlotte, Isla Phillips who holds Lena Tindall, and Mia Tindall.
The photo of the prince and queen, surrounded by the seven great-grandchildren, is said to have been taken at Balmoral Castle in 2018.

In another photo – from 2015 – William and Kate are photographed with Prince Philip, the Queen, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The photos are published on the couple’s Twitter profile.
“Today we share the pictures of Prince Prince Philip, and remember him as a father, grandfather and great-grandfather,” Kensington Royal wrote on Twitter.

While it was confirmed that Prince Harry would return to Britain, it was not known if he would be joined by his pregnant wife Duchess Meghan (39).
This week, however, a spokesman for the couple was able to tell that Meghan will not be seen at the royal funeral on the advice of her doctor.
The duo is expecting a little girl this summer, and the 39-year-old has therefore been told that it is not wise to travel so late in pregnancy, wrote People earlier this week.
