Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, paid tribute to his "dear papa".
Prince Harry, 36, the Duke of Sussex, meanwhile, opted to pay tribute to a "master of the barbecue" and "legend of the banter".
The Duke of Cambridge opted to prioritise his children, reports say, and he moved to ensure Charlotte, Louis and George were coping with the death well.
William's touching message to his three kids has been revealed by a royal insider.
A source told UsWeekly: “William told George, Charlotte and Louis that Prince Philip has ‘gone to heaven’ and ‘is an angel now'.
"They’re still so young so he and Kate wanted to let them down gently.”
The insider continued: “Naturally, the children are very upset, particularly George and Charlotte.
“Louis is still very young and had only met Prince Philip a couple of times.”
“George, Charlotte and Louis helped William choose a photograph of Prince Philip to hang in their home in memory of him,” the source said.
The Duke of Edinburgh died aged 99 on Friday, April 9 and was buried in front of just 30 mourners at a service hit by Covid measures and lockdown restrictions a week later on April 17.
