The post read: "Remembering The Duke of Edinburgh, on what would have been his 100th birthday."

Princess Eugenie, Charles's niece, also shared a picture and marked the day in a short tribute.

She shared a picture of the Queen and Philip at her wedding in 2018 and wrote: "Thinking of Grandpa on what would have been his 100th birthday."

One of those to comment below was singer Ellie Goulding, a friend of the royals, who shared a love heart emoji.

William and Kate said they were also remembering the duke, and posted pictures of the Queen receiving a Duke of Edinburgh rose, which was newly bred in Philip's honour after his death in April.

Princess Anne and Prince Edward, Philip's only daughter and youngest son respectively, gave interviews remembering their father, with Anne saying there was more to him than people knew.

She told ITV: "There were not many people who understood just how broad his interests were and how supportive he was to an astonishingly wide range of organisations. His perspective was really important."

She added: "He probably asked more questions than he gave opinions. He was always good at that."

Prince Edward said the Queen is doing "remarkably well" considering losing her husband of 73 years, and said the easing of COVID-19 restrictions had helped them fill the void of his death.

He told CNN: "Things are beginning to open up more, there are more activities, so weirdly that sort of fills any particular void.
