Queen Elizabeth II made a subtle yet heartbreaking change to her profile photo on her social media pages following the funeral of Prince Philip on April 17.
The British monarch s official Instagram and Twitter page, The Royal Family, used to have a photo of her with the Duke of Edinburgh smiling. It was taken at the Epsom Derby in 2016. Now, it only has a picture of the queen on her own.
It is the same picture shared with the public on April 21 in celebration of her 95th birthday. The snap shows her looking regal in a purple dress and hat and with an endearing smile on her face. It was from her solo public engagement to the MI5 headquarters last year, according to Daily Mail.
