Penelope Knatchbull – known as Penny – sat quietly at the back of St George s Chapel.
In many ways, Penny, who turned 68 on Friday, was the second-most important woman in the Duke of Edinburgh s life – a constant confidante, loyal companion and keeper of secrets . Penny was one of the few friends that Philip continued to see regularly after 2017 and his withdrawal from Royal duties, said one aide. They were brought together by tragedy but were there for each other through thick and thin. He trusted her implicitly and she adored him. She never betrayed him. She was a keeper of not only his secrets but those of the entire family.
