Prince Philip secretly comforted grandson William in touching moment at Diana's funeral

In her element! Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating a milestone 70 years as head of the British monarchy — and a one-of-a-kind coin was made in her honor.

Queen Elizabeth shared the pain she felt after the death of her husband, Prince Philip, as she encouraged people everywhere to celebrate Christmas with friends and family, despite the grief caused by the ongoing pandemic. Saying she understood the difficulty of spending the holiday season "with one familiar laugh missing," the monarch delivered her address beside a framed photograph of her arm-in-arm with Prince Philip, who died in April at age 99.

While Queen Elizabeth II’s Christmas celebration may have looked different from years past, one tradition endured — her annual Christmas Day televised speech.

The Queen once again marked the holidays by delivering her annual Christmas Day broadcast, her first since the death of husband Prince Philip earlier this year.

The Queen has poignantly reflected on a year of personal grief in a moving Christmas Day message, saying there was “one familiar laugh missing” as she acknowledged the death of her husband amid the continuing impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Queen shared her sympathies for "those who have lost loved ones" as she marked her first Christmas since Prince Philip's death. In her annual address, the 95 year old Monarch paid tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh, who died at the age of 99 in April this year.
