"Remembering His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh on the first anniversary of his death," the tweet's caption read.

An excerpt of the $4 read: "The weather in the window this morning is snow, unseasonal singular flakes, a slow winter's final shiver.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall also shared a $4 to Prince Philip. On their official Twitter account, Prince Charles and Camilla posted photos of the duke.

"Remembering The Duke of Edinburgh today, one year since his passing," the tweet read.
