Today marks what should be a day a celebration for King Charles - his 18th wedding anniversary and spending Easter with his nearest and dearest.
But it will also no doubt be a day of reflection for the monarch - that's because it is the second anniversary of the death of his beloved father Prince Philip.
He died just over a year before his devoted wife the late Queen and as he saw out his final peaceful days at Windsor Castle before he passed away aged 99, he seemingly retained his sense of fun, sharp wit and wicked sense of humour.
And, true to form, the 99-year-old couldn't resist one last one wisecrack while speaking to his eldest son Charles, the day before he died.
In a documentary celebrating the life of his father, Charles recalled the last conversation he had over the phone with Philip just hours before his death.
In an intimate interview for a BBC film, the now-King described how he tentatively broached the subject of Philip's upcoming 100th birthday and suggested a party, knowing it was something his dad was not keen on.
And Charles revealed how Philip's response left him with one last happy memory of his dad's cheeky nature.
He recalled he told him that the family had been talking about his 100th birthday and a celebration.
Knowing his father was slightly hard of hearing, Charles then repeated himself more loudly, emphasising: 'We're talking about your birthday! And whether there's going to be a reception!'
To which Charles said Philip replied sharply, without missing a beat: "Well, I've got to be alive for it, haven't I?"
Charles then said: "I told him 'I knew you'd say that!'" and added that it was a happy memory.
Last month, Charles honoured one of his late father and mother's pledges by granting his youngest brother Prince Edward Philip's former title.
It was announced by Buckingham Palace that Edward had become the Duke of Edinburgh, which was previously held by Philip, to mark his 59th birthday.
The granting of the Dukedom of Edinburgh to Edward means that Sophie is now known as the Duchess of Edinburgh.
It had long been known that Edward would one day become the Duke of Edinburgh after a pledge made by the late Queen and Philip on his wedding day in June 1999.
At the time, eyebrows were raised when he was given an Earldom rather than a Dukedom. However, it was announced at the time of the nuptials that Edward would succeed his father as the Duke of Edinburgh with the blessing of his parents after his death.
Philip’s desire for Edward to have the title was in recognition of his son’s decades-long commitment to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, the youth scheme which is one of Philip’s greatest legacies.
