In March, the world saw Elizabeth II. in a completely new light – as a woman grieving for her beloved husband. Tears welled up in her eyes during a service of thanksgiving for Prince Philip at Westminster Abbey in London. And although her health was not good at the time, she came to honor her husband, with whom she lived for 73 years. She stood carefully with her mallet during all the hymns and prayers, her grief palpable. Britain sympathized with her, felt sorry for her queen. The British monarch died on Thursday, September 8, at the age of 96, Prince Philip died on April 9, 2021 at the age of 99. However, due to restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic, only 30 people, i.e. the immediate family, could participate in the funeral service. It was also impossible to fulfill Philip’s wishes regarding the choice of songs. However, the royal family finally indulged in saying goodbye to Prince Philip in March 2022. The queen had her closest relatives by her side, although not all of them. To the surprise of the whole world, Harry and Meghan were absent. enlarge Photo: SITA/AP British Queen Elizabeth II. and her husband Prince Philip British Queen Elizabeth II. and her husband Prince Philip after their wedding at Westminster Abbey on 20 November 1947.

Queen Elizabeth II. she was seldom heard to say anything personal on the subject of her marriage. In 1972, on the occasion of their silver wedding, she said: “When asked what I think about family life after 25 years of marriage, I can answer simply and convincingly that I am in favor.” When Prince Philip was asked by journalists about the secret of the success of their marriage, declared: “The Queen is blessed with an unusually large amount of tolerance.” The marriage of Elizabeth II. with Prince Philip was the longest held by any British monarch. While Queen Elizabeth II. she still performed her duties, Prince Philip gradually withdrew from public life. Addressing Prince Philip on their 50th wedding anniversary, she said: “He’s someone who doesn’t make it easy for you to compliment him. But he was simply my strength and support all these years. I, his whole family, this and many other countries are indebted to him for much, much more than he would ever admit, or as we would admit.” Elizabeth gave birth to four children in marriage – Charles, Anna, Andrew and Edward. Together they lived to have eight grandchildren.
