A royal expert has said that Queen Elizabeth II "was never the same" after the death of her husband Prince Philip, and "ultimately died of a broken heart".The monarch was laid to rest on Monday in a state funeral watched by millions across the country, with a service at Westminster Abbey before a procession to Windsor Castle - where she was buried alongside the love of her life, Philip.The late Duke of Edinburgh passed away in April 2021, just two months before his 100th birthday. It was a difficult time for the Queen, having to sit alone for the service due to the restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic. But a royal expert has suggested that the pain of losing Philip stretched far beyond his funeral, and continued up to her death earlier this month.

A new photograph of Queen Elizabeth II's chapel stone has been released by Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty, who passed away on 8 September aged 96, was laid to rest in the King George VI Memorial Chapel in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle following her state funeral on 19 September.
The Queen was buried alongside her late husband Prince Philip, who passed away in 2021, her parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and her sister, Princess Margaret.

All four royals were members of the Order of the Garter, which has St George’s Chapel as its spiritual home.The stone is made of hand-carved Belgian black marble with brass letter inlays, to match the previous ledger stone, and the new photograph shows the stone surrounded by floral tributes and wreaths.
The new chapel stone comes ahead of the reopening of Windsor Castle next week, which will see members of the public able to visit the Queen's burial site.
