It's hard to believe it's been one year since the Royal family lost Prince Philip. The Duke of Edinburgh passed away on April 9, 2021, at the age of 99.

Now, a year after his passing, his wife HM Queen Elizabeth is giving a touching tribute to mark the anniversary and reflect on the past year without her husband. After 73 years of marriage, I'm sure it's been a difficult one.

HM Queen Elizabeth II is marking the one-year anniversary of her husband's passing with a significant post.

The Royal Family’s official Twitter account released a video montage of the Duke of Edinburgh showing sweet moments of life with his wife and children.

Included in the video were photos of him as a baby, a young naval officer, as well as many photos with his four children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Accompanying the video was a reading of the poem “The Patriarchs – An Elegy” by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage.

"Remembering His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh on the first anniversary of his death," read the caption.

The tweet also included a link to find out more about the Prince’s “life and legacy.”

We're thinking of her majesty during this difficult time.
