King Charles III has paid a sweet tribute to Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in his office at Buckingham Palace.
In a photo released by the Royal Family on Friday, His Majesty is seen working with the iconic red box for the first time ever. The dispatch container has famously delivered important government documents to the British monarch since Queen Elizabeth I's era and was reportedly presented to the late Queen Elizabeth II nearly every day of her historic reign.
In the background of the image, a framed, black-and-white photograph of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, can be seen. Her Majesty died aged 96 at Balmoral Castle on September 8, seventeen months after the Duke of Edinburgh's death at Windsor Castle on April 9, 2021. She has been succeeded by her eldest son, King Charles III, after serving a record-breaking 70 years on the throne.
Royal fans were quick to point out Charles' sentimental decor, with many taking to the comment section on Instagram to share their reaction.
"The photograph behind him 😢," one emotional person said.
