The ceremony was convened by the Queen in honor of Count William Peel, who formally relinquished the office of Lord Chamberlain, whose task is to organize various ceremonies associated with the royal family.
During a private meeting at Windsor Castle, Queen Elizabeth II. at the same time, she took over the badges of his office from her long-term close collaborator, he writes British BBC.
Although the royal family holds the deceased Prince Philip for two weeks of mourning and prepares for his funeral, a source around the palace said that “family members will continue to perform their duties if they are appropriate to the circumstances.”
Count Peel resigned as lord steward after 14 years, officially taking over from April 1 by Andrew Parker, who had previously led the British MI5 secret service. Peel’s last task was to oversee the preparations for Prince Philip’s funeral. It takes place this Saturday.
Prince William, among others, remembered his late grandfather. Watch the TV Nova report:
