Queen Elizabeth has honoured Prince Philip ahead of his funeral on Saturday.
“The Queen wishes to share this private photograph taken with The Duke of Edinburgh at the top of the Coyles of Muick, Scotland in 2003,” the official Royal Family shared on Twitter.
Coyles of Muick on the Balmoral Estate is said to be one of the places the royal couple felt most relaxed and carefree. Their daughter-in-law Countess Sophie took the photo.
