Earlier the morning of April 9th this year was marked by the death of the Duke, he died at the age of 99, when in June he would have turned 100. Several weeks in the hospital before this tragic date for the whole country did not help Philip to recover. Elizabeth, the oldest royal wife in the history of the country, owes a lot to her husband.
Despite the shock, everything needed to be organized strictly to traditions. On April 13th, a farewell ceremony took place. Officials who were always to have a meeting with the queen came along. This allows us to say that the Queen is keeping the promise made at the age of 21 as she became Queen of Great Britain. She will continue her work and will do her duty no matter what. Even the outbreak of COVID-19 did not prevent her from doing this, although it somewhat limited her contact with the outside world.
In addition, the queen will have to spend her own anniversary in solitude in the royal castle; there will be no big family holiday this year. To support the Queen in her grief and celebration, an official portrait was posted on social networks. As in the previous year, the cannon fireworks were canceled.
