This Picture Of The Queen At Prince Philip's Funeral Has Everyone In Tears

On April 17th, 2021, Queen Elizabeth attended the funeral for her husband Prince Philip, who died on April 9th, 2021, at the age of 99. The queen bid farewell to Philip after 73 years of marriage. The couple shared four children, eight grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. The queen was driven to St. George's Chapel on the grounds of her residence at Windsor Castle, in a black car, dressed in all black, with a black mask covering much of her face. She walked into the chapel alongside the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and took a seat in a pew near the altar. After the service, Philip's casket was lowered into the royal vault, which is located below the chapel, according to The Sun. The queen was escorted out of the chapel by Welby, where she got back into a black car that took her home. However, there is one photo in particular that was taken of the queen inside the chapel that has social media in tears. Queen Elizabeth sat alone in the chapel during Prince Philip's funeral. She was photographed sitting at the end of a pew, dressed in black, with her black hat and face mask. The queen sat alone without anyone around her due to precautions taken because of the coronavirus pandemic. The rest of her immediate family, including her son Prince Charles, was seated in the pews directly across from her. According to Town & Country, the plan was to have the queen sit by herself to help ensure her safety when it comes to her health. If the pandemic didn't exist, the queen would have been surrounded by her loved ones, and the pews would have been filled with family members on both sides of the center aisle. Instead, coronavirus guidelines were adhered to, and different households sat spaced out, at least six feet apart.
