The number of her realms has varied over time as territories have gained independence and some realms have become republics..Prince Philip died on 9 April 2021, She was at her husband's bedside when he died, and remarked in private that his death had "left a huge void".Due to the COVID-19 restrictions in place in England at the time, the Queen sat alone at Philip's funeral.

The pictures are gorgeous and some of the narratio......more
