A supremely telling and affecting moment suddenly occurred during the late Prince Philip’s funeral in St George’s Chapel, Windsor on Saturday April 17; it was when the cameras focused briefly on the black, bowed, masked figure of the Queen, sitting alone at the end of a pew.

A charity has gone to great lengths – and heights – to pay tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh, its patron for nearly 70 years.
Instructors from The Outward Bound Trust scaled the UK’s three highest peaks – Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike – in memory of Prince Philip.
The long-held conventional wisdom about Prince Philip and his eldest son emphasised their perceived differences
Just four days after an ailing Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to the King Edward VII’s Hospital in mid-February, the Prince of Wales made a two-hour trip from his Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire to see his 99-year-old father.
Under the Government’s coronavirus lockdown rules, such a hospital visit could only occur in “exceptional circumstances” . When Charles emerged a half-hour later, his face was covered with a mandatory surgical mask, but his distress could be seen in his rheumy eyes. He was the only member of the Royal family to visit the hospital during the Duke’s month-long stay. It was the most visible sign of a rapprochement between father and son that had taken hold in recent years.
