The royal family’s social media accounts mark the end of the mourning period and a new era following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Accounts for the Royal Family and the Prince and Princess of Wales, who had shown the Royal Crest as their profile photos after the Queen’s death, have now been changed to show photos of the reigning monarch King Charles with Queen Consort Camilla, and Kate and William .
Following Her Majesty’s passing on September 8, the nation and the royal family entered a period of mourning until her state funeral on Monday, September 19.
While life returned to normal for most people after the funeral, which was attended by about 2,000 people at Westminster Abbey, the royal family continued its mourning period for seven more days after the late monarch was laid to rest at King George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor. .
The royal family’s official Instagram and Twitter accounts, which have featured a profile photo of the royal coat of arms for the past two weeks, have changed their main image to the king and queen consort.
After the death of the Queen and to mark the period of mourning, the Instagram account of the royal family, as well as the accounts of other senior royals, changed her profile picture to the royal emblem
However, the royal family’s Instagram account has announced that the official mourning period has ended this morning and has indicated a change in the content it will now be producing.
The report reads: ‘The period of royal mourning following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is now over.
“The Royal Family’s account will continue to reflect the work of the King, Queen Consort and other members of the Royal Family, as well as the life and work of Queen Elizabeth.”
Meanwhile, the Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales, who are expected to make their first visit to the nation since inheriting their new titles today, changed his profile picture back to a photo of Kate and William on a trip to Ireland.
The couple is pictured smiling with their arms around each other as they stand on a beautiful cliff overlooking the sea in the background.
The symbolic changes come as the royal family enters a new era in which King Charles III becomes the monarch and will perform his royal duties alongside Queen Consort Camilla.
Flags on royal residences returned to full mast at 8am today as the Prince and Princess of Wales prepared to visit their homeland for the first time since taking up their titles.
The social media accounts of senior members of the royal family have played a big part in showing how the royals pay respect to Her Majesty.

Following the news of the Queen’s death, the royal family’s Instagram account has changed its social media profile image to the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom.
Kensington Royal, the handle of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, also changed his image – making the couple beam at each other for their official royal coat of arms.
Clarence House also adopted the emblem, the Feathers of the Prince of Wales, to pay their respects, replacing an image of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles laughing in an official portrait released to mark Wales Week 2019.
All three Instagram accounts shared the black and white photo of the queen released by the palace on the day of her death.
Senior royals also used their Instagram accounts to post public statements and tributes to Her Majesty.
The Prince of Wales used his official Instagram account to pay tribute to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, after her death (pictured in Windsor Guildhall during a visit last week)
On the official record of the Prince and Princess of Wales, which changed his name from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to reflect their new titles, the Queen’s grandson wrote:
“Thursday, the world lost an extraordinary leader whose devotion to the country, the empires and the Commonwealth was absolute. So much will be said in the coming days about the significance of her historic reign.
‘However, I have lost a grandmother. And while I will mourn her loss, I also feel incredibly grateful. I have benefited from the queen’s wisdom and reassurance into my fifth decade.
‘My wife has had her guidance and support for twenty years. My three children have to spend vacations with her and create memories that will last a lifetime.
She was by my side in my happiest moments. And she was by my side through the saddest days of my life.
“I knew this day would come, but it will be a while before the reality of life without Grandma will feel real.”
He then thanked his beloved grandmother, who cared for him after the death of his mother Princess Diana, for her love and kindness and service to the nation during her 70-year reign.
Despite a sign of new beginnings within The Firm and for the country, Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy will live on during the reign of her son, King Charles.
During his address to the nation, the day after his mother passed away, the king said he would be dear to her.
He said, ‘Queen Elizabeth’s life was a life well lived; kept a promise with fate, and she is most mourned in her passing. That pledge of lifelong service I renew to all of you today.”
