The Royal family have released never seen before photos of Prince Philip surrounded by his great-grandchildren ahead of his funeral on Saturday, April 17.

Members of the Royal family have taken to social media to share photographs of the Duke of Edinburgh, remembering him as a father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

One of the pictures of Prince Philip include a photograph taken by Kate Middleton of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh surrounded by seven of their great-grandchildren at Balmoral Castle in 2018.

In another, posted on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Twitter account, William and Kate are seen along with Prince George and Princess Charlotte in a photo with Philip and the Queen at Balmoral in 2015.

In a tweet from the account of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, Philip and a young Charles are pictured on horseback playing polo.

Alongside the photo posted on Twitter, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall said: “Remembering The Duke of Edinburgh as a much-loved Father and Father-in-Law.
