Prince Charles has posted a rare childhood photo with an “incredible individual” and fans rushed to support him as they shared his pain at a heartbreaking loss.
- The Prince of Wales took to social media on April 9th as he marked a devastating family anniversary for the first time.
- Prince Charles shared a rare childhood snap with Prince Philip and the Queen and fans were left emotional as they reflected on a year since his passing.
- This royal news comes as it was revealed that Prince Harry is 'to go after Charles and Camilla' with his new book, according to a royal expert.
Though it might seem like only yesterday that Prince Philip and the Queen spent the UK’s lockdown at Windsor Castle together and celebrated his 99th birthday, sadly April 9th marked a year since the Duke of Edinburgh’s passing. Since losing her beloved “strength and stay” the Queen has remained at their Berkshire home and has reflected on him several times in significant messages in the months that followed, including her Christmas 2021 message.
As the difficult date of this first anniversary approached, she and the extended Royal Family recently paid tribute to Prince Philip at a special service of thanksgiving. On the day itself the Royal Family shared a moving poem in his honor, whilst Prince Charles’ childhood photo with his father has left fans very emotional.
