On Saturday, the royal family's official Twitter account shared a moving video tribute that featured photos of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II throughout the years. The poem, "The Patriarchs — An Elegy" by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, was included alongside the video and played in the background.

"Remembering His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh on the first anniversary of his death," the tweet's caption read.

An excerpt of the poem read: "The weather in the window this morning is snow, unseasonal singular flakes, a slow winter's final shiver. On such an occasion to presume to eulogise one man is to pipe up for a whole generation - that crew whose survival was always the stuff of minor miracle, who came ashore in orange-crate coracles, fought ingenious wars, finagled triumphs at sea with flaming decoy boats, and side-stepped torpedoes."

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall also shared a tribute to Prince Philip. On their official Twitter account, Prince Charles and Camilla posted photos of the duke.

"Remembering The Duke of Edinburgh today, one year since his passing," the tweet read.

Representatives for Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

A televised funeral for Prince Philip was held on April 17, 2021, at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Prince Philip initially wanted a fuss-free funeral with 800 attendees, but the number was cut to 30 due to the country's COVID-19 restrictions at the time.

Queen Elizabeth II was pictured sitting alone at the funeral.

On March 29, a Service of Thanksgiving for Prince Philip was held by the royal family in London at Westminster Abbey. Politicians like UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and members of other royals families were among those in attendance.

British Royal family members, including Princess Anne and Queen Elizabeth, wore dark green in tribute to Prince Philip's official livery color.
