Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice were joined by their husbands at Prince Philip's funeral on Saturday, April 17.
New mom Eugenie was photographed alongside her husband, Jack Brooksbank, while Beatrice was seen with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
Earlier this week, the 31-year-old shared a touching tribute to her grandfather, who died on April 9 at 99 years old. "I remember learning how to cook, how to paint, what to read. I remember laughing at your jokes and asking about your spectacular life and service in the navy," she wrote. "I remember incinerating the sausages and you swooping in to save the day. I remember your hands and your laugh and your favourite beer."
"I will remember you in your children, your grandchildren and great grandchildren," she continued. "Thank you for your dedication and love for us all and especially Granny, who we will look after for you."
After Eugenie gave birth in February, she made sure to honor Philip when naming her son August Philip Hawke.
For her part, Princess Beatrice got married in July, and of course, her grandparents made the guest list.
There were only 30 people at Philip's funeral due to COVID-19 restrictions.
All of Philip's eight grandchildren — Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, Prince William, Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn — were present.
"Ironically, it is probably how he would have liked," former palace spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson revealed about the low-key ceremony. "No fuss, no bother. Right through his life, he never knew what all the fuss was about."
On April 9, the royal family revealed that the Duke of Edinburgh had passed away. “It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle,” the statement read at the time. “The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss. Further announcements will be made in due course.”
