Queen undertakes first duties since death of Prince Philip as funeral preparations continue
The Queen has undertaken her first royal duties since the death of her husband Prince Philip, although the royal family as a whole remains in a state of mourning.
Key points:
- The Queen met with the outgoing Lord Chamberlain on Tuesday, four days after the death of Prince Philip
- The royal family is in mourning but members are allowed to undertake duties “where appropriate”
- Many royal engagements have been cancelled in the wake of the death, including Prince William’s appearance at the BAFTAs
The Royal family’s activities have been limited following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh at age 99 on Friday.
But official protocol says members of the royal family will continue to conduct official duties “appropriate to the circumstances”.
