According to PEOPLE, Gert’s Royal Replies shared a snap of the note they received from Prince William and Kate Middleton, after sending in condolences to the family following the Duke of Edinburgh’s passing. The snap showed that the thank you note came with a picture that Prince Philip had taken in 2012, which was lined with a black frame – to represent mourning.

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thank you for your kind words following the death of The Duke of Edinburgh,” the royal couple’s note began. “Their Royal Highnesses have been incredibly moved by the many thoughtful messages they have received in recent weeks. They will all miss their much loved grandfather and great-grandfather, but your message has provided great comfort at this difficult time.”

Following the death of Prince Philip, several members of the royal family shared rare never-before-seen photographs featuring the late Duke. The Cambridges shared a picture of Prince Philip riding with their youngest son Prince Louis in a carriage. The happy picture was taken by the Duchess of Cambridge.

“My grandfather’s century of life was defined by service – to his country and Commonwealth, to his wife and Queen, and to our family,” the message read. “I feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide me, but his enduring presence well into my own adult life–both through good times and the hardest days.”

“I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her,” Prince William shared at the time. “I will never take for granted the special memories my children will always have of their great-grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage and seeing for themselves his infectious sense of adventure as well as his mischievous sense of humour!”

“My grandfather was an extraordinary man and part of an extraordinary generation. Catherine and I will continue to do what he would have wanted and will support The Queen in the years ahead. I will miss my Grandpa, but I know he would want us to get on with the job.”
