When Queen Elizabeth Bid Adieu to Prince Philip With a Heartfelt Note

Losing a loved one is devastating, regardless of whether the death is sudden or the result of a prolonged illness. Different people react differently to a passing; some mourn by spending time alone, some cry their hearts out, and some act like everything is okay. Some, like the Queen of England, write a touching note to say goodbye.

While bidding a final farewell to her deceased husband, Queen Elizabeth II placed a heartfelt note on top of the Duke of Edinburgh’s coffin. She signed it off with the nickname “Lilibet” – something she was called when she was a child.
It’s believed that Prince Philip was the last person who called the Queen by this nickname. Soon after the note went viral, Buckingham Palace declared that it would not comment on its details as it was “private.”

Photos from the funeral service showed the Queen sitting alone at the benches of St. George’s Chapel. In the wake of COVID-19, the Queen and the mourners wore a face mask and sat six feet apart. While inside the chapel, the Queen, who wore an all-black outfit except for the diamond brooch on her left shoulder, kept her face down, only giving a view of her black hat.
How has the Queen been lately?
A day after Prince Philip’s demise, Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and his wife Sophie paid a visit to the Windsor Castle to check on the Queen. While leaving, Sophie tearfully updated the royal family’s well-wishers that the “Queen has been amazing.” The same day Prince Andrew also visited his mother. Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s first child, Prince Charles visited his mother hours after his father’s demise.
