The Queen is to carry out her first major public ceremonial duty since the death of the Duke of Edinburgh when she attends a scaled back Covid-secure State Opening of Parliament on Tuesday.
Philip, the nation’s longest reigning consort who died aged 99 on April 9, spent decades accompanying the monarch to the grand occasion, sitting on an ornate golden throne at his wife’s side.
The Queen, 95, has been continuing with her work as sovereign at Windsor Castle as she mourns the loss of her beloved husband of 73 years.
It will be the monarch’s first official appearance in public in her role as head of state, and first engagement outside of Windsor Castle, since the duke died just over a month ago.
