Royals pay tribute to Prince Philip on his 99th birthday
Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Charles have led birthday tributes to Prince Philip on social media.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared shots of them separately with the Duke of Edinburgh, who turns 99 today.
They also shared the new portrait of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth released to mark the occasion.

"Wishing a very happy 99th Birthday to The Duke of Edinburgh!" they captioned the post.
Meanwhile, Prince Charles dug deep into the archives, sharing a photo of himself as a little boy in a boat with his dad.
A second, much more recent picture shows the pair sharing a laugh.
"Wishing The Duke of Edinburgh a very happy 99th birthday!" the post read, alongside the two images.
Prince Philip will spend his birthday in Windsor with his wife of 72 years, Queen Elizabeth, the Palace confirmed.
Their official social media handle also shared images of the Duke over the years.
One photo showed Prince Philip as a father for the first time, holding a baby Prince Charles, their eldest son.
It's understood Prince Harry, who is very close to his grandfather, is set to video call him from his new home in Los Angeles, alongside wife Meghan Markle and their son Archie.
Given the global pandemic and continued lockdowns in the UK, the Duke will spend his birthday apart from his family.
It's something that disappointed Prince Charles, who recently spoke about missing his dad and wanting to hug his family.
