A new tribute to Prince Philip is giving us our most intimate perspective on the royals yet as they pay tribute to their late patriarch's century alive.

In footage from Queen Elizabeth's private collection released over the weekend, we see an excited Prince Philip on a mini-tricycle racing young Prince Charles and Princess Anne as a young Elizabeth dashes behind, trying to keep up.

Other glimpses from the family's personal vault show Philip rowing on a lake with his youngest son, Prince Edward, and relaxing with his children by a lake — possibly in Scotland, where he famously used to BBQ on the family summer breaks.

"We were lucky to have him for nearly a hundred years," says Prince Charles.

The clips are part of the BBC's upcoming Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers, a new documentary celebrating the Duke of Edinburgh's life (airing September 22 on BBC One).
