Less than a week after Prince Philip passed away at 99 years old, the royal family released new photographs of him with his great-grandchildren.
In the latest photo, Philip, who had 10 great-grandchildren, posed with Prince William and Kate Middleton's three kids — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — in addition to Isla Phillips, Lena Tindall, Mia Tindall and Savannah Phillips.
"The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh surrounded by seven of their great-grandchildren at Balmoral Castle in 2018," The Royal Family's official Instagram account captioned the snap on Wednesday, April 14, adding that Kate took the adorable picture.
Of course, people couldn't get enough of the sweet moment. One person wrote, "In the end, it’s really about family. So sweet to be surrounded by their great-grandchildren," while another added, "I would love to have this moment again with my grandparent. They are so so so lucky."
A third user added, "This photo is really sweet and lovely ❤️."
Additionally, more never-before-seen photos were uploaded, including one of Philip and Prince Charles riding horses and William and Kate posing with a tiny Princess Charlotte, Prince George, Queen Elizabeth and Philip.
"Today, members of the Royal Family have shared photographs of The Duke of Edinburgh, remembering him as a father, grandfather and great-grandfather," they captioned the slew of snapshots. "Find out more about The Duke of Edinburgh on www.royal.uk."
Earlier in the week, William, 38, paid tribute to his grandfather by sharing a photo of him with Prince George.
"My grandfather’s century of life was defined by service – to his country and Commonwealth, to his wife and Queen, and to our family," he began. "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," he continued.
"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!" he added.
"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," he concluded. "I will miss my Grandpa, but I know he would want us to get on with the job."
