Prince William and Kate Middleton admitted to struggling following the death of Prince Philip in a “Thank You” card mailed to constituents who sent their condolences.
“They will all miss their much-loved grandfather and great-grandfather, but your message has provided great comfort at this difficult time,” the message, shared by the blog Gert’s Royal Replies, said.
The card, which Gert’s Royal Replies noted had a glossier finish and thicker card stock than other royal photocards, also said, “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thank you for your kind words following the death of The Duke of Edinburgh. Their Royal Highnesses have been incredibly moved by the many thoughtful messages they have received in recent weeks.”
The kind message was written beside a photo of Philip taken in 2012 during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Armed Forces Parade and Muster at Windsor Castle.
Gert’s Royal Replies said the card would “probably be a much more treasured memento from recipients than their usual photo card,” so it was “nice that they made this something that would last an extra long time.”
The Royal blogger also highlighted the card’s black border, which they said signified “mourning” and is an “old Victorian-era tradition.
“While some royals use this black mourning edging, it’s not required that all royals use it,” they also noted on their website.
Philip died in April at age 99 following a month-long stay in a hospital where he had heart surgery, although his death was said to be “very gentle” and “very peaceful.”
Kate, 39, and her parents accompanied William, 39, at the funeral amid reports of a rift between him and his brother, Prince Harry, following the younger royal’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Moments after Philip’s funeral, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge honored the late royal grandfather, writing on Twitter, “The Duke of Edinburgh was a devoted consort to Her Majesty The Queen for nearly 70 years, from Her Majesty’s Accession in 1952 until his death.”
