When Queen Elizabeth's husband died on April 9 at the age of 99, the royals began a two-week mourning period. At the direction of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the U.K. also entered a period of national mourning where flags would be flown at half-mast and certain political activities would pause until after Philip's funeral on April 17. The royal family honored Prince Philip on their social media pages by swapping out their cheerful profile photos with their monograms or symbols. On Friday, they returned to their usual pictures to mark the end of the mourning period.
