You can’t blame her for missing her boo. As many fans know, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip had a love that spanned decades, which is why letting go has become a very hard thing to do for Her Majesty.
There’s a new report that says Queen Elizabeth left a sentimental handwritten letter for Prince Philip on his coffin on the day of his funeral. The Duke of Edinburgh died earlier this month at the age of 99.
Eagle-eyed fans could see a wreath and handwritten letter from the queen on top of Philip’s coffin. The royal couple famously penned love letters to each other over the course of their relationship.
Their romance started when Elizabeth was just 13 years old and continued until Philip’s death.
Queen Elizabeth Left A Love Note On Prince Philip’s Coffin
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Philip had a hand in making his own funeral plans. He wanted a small gathering rather than a state funeral, which is exactly what he got.
“He has asked, in his words, [for] a simple affair and that is exactly what is happening at the ceremonial service that will take place at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle,” Omid Scobie, co-author of Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family, told ET Online.
Meanwhile, and in a separate report, royal author and expert Leslie Carroll told Fox News that Queen Elizabeth couldn’t have had a better husband by her side during these last seven decades that they were together.
The royal couple met when Prince Philip was 18 and Queen Elizabeth was just 13. And while the royal couple certainly had their fair share of ups and downs, Caroll says that Prince Philip was very much the ideal husband, simply because he was willing to give up some of the most important things in his life in order to make his marriage to the most important person in the monarchy work.
“He also gave up the only other thing he loved besides his wife and queen – his career as a naval officer,” said Carroll. “[But] his passion for the sea never left him, however land-bound he became,” she continued.
“That night in London’s Guildhall – a building built in 1440 that stands as a reminder that ‘there will always be an England’ – the duke was master and commander again; but this time on behalf of the charitable organization that brings comfort to those former seafarers who find themselves cast upon financial shoals.”
Prince Philip is survived by the queen, 94, their four children, as well as eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
