And another added, "HM looks very much like his father in this picture."
Buckingham Palace released the image and part of its captioned explained, "The Duke of Edinburgh was the longest serving Ranger of Windsor Great Park – holding the role from 1952 until his passing in 2021. His Royal Highness took an active role in overseeing developments, such as the reintroduction of 🦌 Red Deer into the Deer Park in 1979 and the development of 🏠 The Savill Garden Visitor Centre and ⛲ Virginia Water Pavilion."
And fans have praised the news of his new role.
One fan said, "He'll do a fantastic job."
Another added, "A very Happy Birthday Your Majesty, congratulations on your new role as Park Ranger of Windsor Great Park 🎂 👑"
