Prince William and Kate Middleton Say George, Charlotte and Louis Miss Great-Grandpa Prince Philip

Prince Philip is greatly missed by his family.

Prince William and Kate Middleton sent a thank you note in response to a letter of condolences saying their family — including their three children Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3 — missed their "much loved grandfather and great-grandfather."

Miss Royal Replies shared the piece of mail on Instagram, showing the typed note along with a photo of Prince Philip, who died last month at the age of 99, in uniform.

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thank you for your kind words following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh," the letter reads. "Their Royal Highnesses have been incredibly moved by the many thoughtful messages they have received in recent weeks."

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