Queen Elizabeth's social media pages have gone through a noticeable transformation after the passing of her beloved husband Prince Philip.
Her official Instagram page, The Royal Family, used to feature a photo of her with Philip as the profile picture, but her team recently changed it to a photo ofthe Queen on her own, reports The Sun.
The heartbreaking change comes after two weeks of mourning following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, during which the Queen, Prince Charles, William and Kate changed their photos on Instagram and Twitter to black and white snaps.
Philip, who was married to the Queen for 73 years, died "peacefully" at Windsor Castle on April 9 at 99 years old.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle no longer have an official Instagram page since giving up their royal titles as a result of Megxit. But they did update their Archewell website to share a tribute to Prince Philip. They removed all other information from the site after the duke's funeral, with just Harry's words remaining.
Just like the other royals' social media pages, the Archewell website is now back to normal, but Harry's tribute and photo of him with Prince Philip remain on the site.
Yesterday marked the Queen's first official public engagement since her husband's funeral earlier this month.
