The most heartbreaking image of Queen Elizabeth at the funeral of Prince Philip
Due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the monarch fired her husband for more than seven decades isolated from the rest of the attendees
After a week of mourning, the British crown held the funeral of Prince Philip. At the ceremony, Queen Elizabeth II said goodbye to her husband, who died last April 9 at the age of 99, in the Chapel of St. George, in Windsor Castle. Due to the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic, it was a different event that gave the world a shocking image: the monarch, going through one of her most difficult moments, in complete solitude.
The remains of the Duke of Edinburgh arrived in a Land Rover designed by himself for this occasion, due to his great affection for this model and his long passion for automobiles. The vehicle made a journey of several minutes through the Windsor estate until it reached the chapel, where a minute of silence was held in honor of the prince.
The images of the ceremony shook the world, not only because of their historical significance, but also because of the particular conditions imposed by Covid-19. Instead of being a massive farewell, the farewell to Felipe was intimate and restricted to the direct circle of Queen Elizabeth's husband. The monarch also kept distance from the guests, among whom were her children and grandchildren, including Prince Harry, who traveled to the United Kingdom without Meghan Markle to attend her funeral.
What will Queen Elizabeth do after the funeral?
After her touching farewell, the queen will return to the castle and, if she is not too tired, she will go out with her dogs Muick and Fergus for a short walk, according to The Sun. In the last week, Elizabeth II spent time with her pets every day as a therapeutic way to cope with grief. In fact, her cubs came into her life to cheer her up when Prince Philip was in the hospital. On Friday night, hours before her funeral, the queen walked the dogs through Frogmore.
