King Charles III left a note for the late Queen Elizabeth II in the wreath that sat on top of her coffin at her funeral Monday.
"In loving and devoted memory. Charles R," the note read.
According to a tweet from the official Royal Family account, the wreath "contains foliage of Rosemary, English Oak and Myrtle," all cut from a plant grown from the myrtle used in the Queen's wedding bouquet, seemingly paying tribute to the Queen's late husband, Prince Philip.
The flowers on the wreath, the Royal Family account said, are gold, pink, deep burgundy, and white, all cut from the gardens of the royal residences.

The wreath used in Monday's funeral service appears to be different than the one placed on top of the Queen's coffin during last week's processional.
That wreath also paid tribute to Philip, and was made up of dahlias, phlox, white heather, pine fir, and sweet peas from Balmoral Castle, Hello! magazine reported.
The magazine added the sweet peas were not only one of the Queen's favorite flowers, but they were also a nod to her late husband Prince Philip.
Philip's funeral wreath was hand-picked by the Queen herself, Hello! magazine reported, and contained white lilies, white roses, white freesia, white wax flower, jasmine, and white sweet peas.
