In an elegant sitting room, an elderly couple admires a wedding anniversary card made by young relatives. This charming scene could be played out by long-married couples across Britain, but its protagonists are in fact the most regal husband and wife in the country.
The Queen and Prince Philip’s 2020 anniversary photo was taken at Windsor Castle shortly before 20 November, the date they celebrated 73 years of marriage. The eye-catching card in Prince Philip’s hands was created by three of the couple’s great-grandchildren: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The delight on the faces of the monarch and her consort is clear to see.
