The Queen’s upcoming 95th birthday celebration is likely to be much darker than her 90th birthday, not only because of the current pandemic, but also because of the recent death of her husband. The official mourning is coming to an end, but this does not in the least lifts the tragedy of loss for Elizabeth.
Her birthday statement said that she was grateful for all the congratulations and words of comfort she received that day. It is at such moments that people especially appreciate the bonds of the family and are happy to see and hear all their members. On behalf of the whole family, she thanked the citizens for their attention and support over the past few days. Everyone remembers and honors the influence that Philip had on people during his life.
