The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have sent out personalized notes to people who wrote to their office with kind words as the royal family processed the loss of Philip earlier this year. Royal blogger account Gert's Royal Replies (opens in new tab) (which, like the name implies, is dedicated to sharing replies the royal family send out to fans who write them) shared pictures of the note on Instagram (opens in new tab) and Twitter (opens in new tab) this week.

The folded card included both Will and Kate's (opens in new tab) individual monograms, along with a picture of Philip in his full military uniform from 2012 during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Inside, the Cambridges included a typed note that reads:

"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.

They will all miss their much loved grandfather and great-grandfather, but your message has provided great comfort at this difficult time."
