Mourning members of the Royal Family swapped their smiling social media profile photos to their official coats of arms today in a mark of respect to Prince Philip.

The Duke of Edinburgh passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle this morning, aged 99. 

The Royal Family issued a statement reading: ‘It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband. The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss.’

Following the sad news, the Royal Family changed its social media profile image – which had shown a jolly image of the Queen and Prince Philip at the Epsom Derby in 2016 – to the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom.

In a sad twist of fate, today is also the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall’s 16th wedding anniversary. 

All three Instagram accounts shared the black and white image of the Duke of Edinburgh, dressed in his military uniform, released by the Palace today. 

Meanwhile the royal.uk website was replaced with placeholder image of the Duke along with the official statement declaring his death, with the message: ‘The official website of the Royal Family is temporarily unavailable while appropriate changes are made.’ 

Prince Philip spent his final days at Windsor Castle with his wife after a 28-night stay in hospital, having been admitted in mid-February for an infection and a pre-existing heart condition.

He is expected to have a royal ceremonial funeral and Union Jack flags will fly at half-mast around Britain following his death today.

The Duke, who was just two months short of his 100th birthday, will not lie in state and there will be no state funeral because he had insisted that he did not want the ‘fuss’.

Instead a service will take place at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in Berkshire – although the precise details are unclear due to Covid restrictions.

Lord Chamberlain, the most senior officer of the royal household, will be in charge of arrangements.

His death plunges the nation and the Royal Family into mourning, and brings to an end Philip’s lifetime of service to Britain and to Elizabeth, the Queen who adored him since her teens.  

A statement within a wooden frame was pinned to the railings outside Buckingham Palace in London, with a series of gun salutes also possible.

The Queen will sign off the funeral plans and confirm a period of mourning. 

There will also be a memorial website where people can leave their condolences.

Boris Johnson addressed the nation outside No 10 Downing Street and said: ‘We give thanks, as a nation and a kingdom, for the extraordinary life and work of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh’.
