Charles and Camilla's emotional visit to Prince Philip's memorial

Prince Charles and Camilla looked visibly emotional as they visited a memorial for Prince Philip.

The future king and the Duchess of Cornwall walked amongst the floral tributes left by the public in the gardens of Marlborough House in London yesterday, stopping to read hand-written notes left on display.

The flowers and gifts were moved from outside Buckingham Palace to the private gardens at Marlborough House in order to discourage members of the public from gathering amid the coronavirus pandemic.

72-year-old Prince Charles looked moved by the outpouring of love and Camilla appeared to wipe away a tear from her eye as she inspected the tributes.

On Saturday, Prince Charles delivered a touching tribute to his late father, Prince Philip, saying his ‘dear papa’ would have been amazed by the outpouring of grief.

Charles looked solemn as he stepped outside his home, Highgrove House, saying the royal family are “deeply grateful” for the show of support from the public.

"My father, for I suppose the last 70 years, has given the most remarkable devoted service to the queen, to my family, to the country and also to the whole of the Commonwealth," Charles told reporters, wearing a black necktie of mourning.

"My dear Papa was a very special person who above all else would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him.

"And from that point of view we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that. It will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particularly sad time.

"As you can imagine, my family and I miss my father enormously."

Charles said his father was a "much loved" and appreciated figure and he would be "so deeply touched" by the messages of sorrow and support from around the world and the Commonwealth.

Buckingham Palace has announced the guest list for the funeral, which will include 30 members of the royal family.

The mourners include Prince Harry, Prince William and his wife Kate, and the four children of the Queen and the duke, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

The duke's other grandchildren and some of their spouses will be there - including Peter Phillips, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, and Zara and Mike Tindall.

Jack Brooksbank and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, married to Eugenie and Beatrice respectively will attend.

Several of the Queen's cousins have been invited but without their spouses, including the Dukes of Kent and Gloucester. Princess Alexandra will also be alone, as she is a widow.

There will also be three members of Philip's German family, Prince Phillipp, Prince Donatus and Prince Bernhard.

Countess Mountbatten of Burma, Penny Knatchbull, has been invited.
