April 9 went Queen Elizabeth’s (95) husband Prince Philip away, 99 years old. They were married for over 70 years, and the monarch thus lost a close friend and a loyal supporter.
The prince was buried in St. George’s Chapel in Windsor eight days later. It was a funeral strongly marked by the pandemic, with a guest list of only 30 people, requirements for bandages and distance rules.
– We are deeply moved
Only the immediate family took part in the farewell, including the grandchildren Prince Harry (36) and William (38) who were reunited on the day of the funeral after the scandalous interview with Oprah Winfrey (67) in March.
The image of Queen Elizabeth sitting alone in the chapel when she said goodbye to her husband later went viral on social media. The image of the lone majesty was described as heartbreaking and outrageous, but was at the same time a reminder that the corona pandemic affects everyone and everyone, even the royals.
