Regina Elisabetta, look for Philip’s birthday
The Queen Elizabeth she wanted to remember her husband Filippo on his 100th birthday, receiving a special rose. For the Sovereign, this anniversary is perhaps the saddest, because it explicitly marks the death of her beloved Prince after 73 years of living together.
Born on 10 June 1921, Filippo was unable to reach this significant milestone for a few months. In fact, he passed away on April 9th, leaving a void in the Monarchy that Kate Middleton and William have been trying to fill in recent weeks.
Elizabeth therefore wanted to pay homage to her beloved spouse with a significant gesture. His Majesty received a rose, unique, created specifically for this anniversary, which was planted in the gardens of Windsor Castle in the undying memory of the Duke of Edinburgh, in the very places that he himself helped to modify.
A source close to the Palace stated that the Queen will spend the whole day privately, also because she has to prepare for a very busy weekend with the ceremony, albeit reduced, of the Trooping the Color, the military parade that the Royal Family attended from the balcony of Buckingham Palace before the pandemic to celebrate Her Majesty’s public birthday. And then on Sunday 13 June Elizabeth must meet Joe Biden on his first official trip to Great Britain.
The squad was presented to the Queen last week by President of the Royal Horticultural Society, Keith Weed. Elizabeth called the flower adorable. The ceremony was particularly moving. Elisabetta showed up with an informal look, almost discharged, a blue dress with white flowers, combined with a light cardigan. The Queen appeared slightly worn and thin.
