Prince Philip loved his wheels! Just a few days after the 99-year-old Duke of Edinburgh died in April 2021, William shared a heartfelt tribute with this unseen shot of Philip and George, partly captioned, "I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her. I will never take for granted the special memories my children will always have of their great-grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage and seeing for themselves his infectious sense of adventure as well as his mischievous sense of humour!"
Three months later, the Duke and Duchess would also include a sweet nod to the Duke of Edinburgh in George's 8th birthday portrait by sitting George on the hood of a Land Rover, one of Philip's favorite cars.
