Nearly a year after 95-year-old Elizabeth II was forced to sit alone in a very limited funeral ceremony for Prince Philip due to Corona’s limitations, the Queen of Britain attended with her family and hundreds of other guests, including kings and princes from across Europe, the memorial service for her husband, who died in April last year.
The ceremony, held at Westminster Abbey in London, was the Queen’s first major public event since doctors ordered her to rest and reduce her activities, after being hospitalized overnight. Using a cane, this time the queen was brought to a side entrance.
She walked slowly, accompanied by her son, Prince Andrew, in his first appearance since the settlement that ended the lawsuit against him for rape and sexual assault came out. The only family member who did not attend the ceremony was the grandson, Prince HarryWho remained in the U.S. with his wife Duchess Megan Merkel and their two children. Harry has a dispute with the Home Office over his security requirements during his visits to the kingdom.
