Princess Anne expressed her heartache over Prince Philip's funeral. Three years on, the Royal Family still carries poignant memories of bidding their goodbyes.
The Duke of Edinburgh was the adored husband of Queen Elizabeth II and was laid to rest in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle three years ago today. He had passed away at the age of 99.
Due to the pandemic, only 30 close family members including the their four children and eight grandchildren were allowed to attend the solemn ceremony. Added to this, social distancing norms meant the Queen had to sit alone, during that emotional moment as she bid farewell to her partner of 74 long years.
A heartbreaking picture of the Queen mourning solo went viral across global media, sparking widespread sympathy for the royal's unyielding strength even in her personal loss, reports the Mirror.
Princess Anne spoke about that day in an interview with CBC, revealing candidly: "In some ways, I'm glad we didn't see that moment. And when you see the photograph, it's much worse somehow. And you saw more of that than we did, [since we were] accompanying the coffin."
Prince Andrew also offered a rare insight into the Queen's private grief, remarking: "The Queen, as you would expect, is an incredibly stoic person. She described it as having left a huge void in her life but we, the family, the ones that are close, are rallying round to make sure that we're there to support her."
Reflecting on his father's temperament and guidance, Prince Andrew said: "He was so calm. If you had a problem, he would think about it. He was always somebody you could go to and he would always listen so it's a great loss."

Prince George may be the eldest out of the three Wales Children and will one day be crowned King but according to the late Queen, it's his little sister Princess Charlotte who's the real boss.
It’s been 13 years since Kate Middleton and Prince William tied the knot in their iconic royal wedding at Westminster Abbey. In the years that have followed, the pair have enjoyed immense highs, such as the births of their three children Prince George, ten, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, six.They have also had to face multiple challenges together, including the deaths of Prince Philip and the Queen, the fallout with Prince Harry and Kate’s recent cancer battle. Yet through it all, the couple, who first met at St Andrews in 2001, remain stronger than ever.
Meghan Markle "didn't grasp Royal hierarchy" and "craved the limelight", a royal expert has claimed.The Duchess of Sussex has been accused by a commentator of exiting the Royal Family because "she wanted to be the star". The former Suits actress joined the Royal Family back in May 2018 when she married Prince Harry, but the couple stepped back from their official duties in 2020 and relocated to the US where they still live with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Meghan Markle was given a rather harsh nickname by Prince Philip, which revealed his true feelings towards her that he "couldn't escape", according to a royal expert.
Sarah Ferguson has paid a heartfelt tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on what would have been her "97th birthday", despite a slight error in her calculations.
One rarely-seen Royal figure is said to have a net worth larger than Kate Middleton, Princess Anne and Prince Edward combined.
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in 2018 it was a day of pure joy for the couple. However, it also appears the event was the last time Harry and his brother Prince William were happy in one another's company.
The relationship between King Charles and his sons, Princes William and Prince Harry, has been strained since Harry and his wife Meghan Markle decided to step back from their Royal duties in 2020.The tension has resulted in limited face-to-face meetings between the father and sons in the subsequent years. One such tense reunion occurred in April 2021 when Harry returned for Prince Philip's funeral, which took place exactly three years ago today.This meeting came just weeks after Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, which further deepened the rift within the family.
The late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh reportedly had a rather cutting nickname for Meghan Markle, likening her to another American divorcee who married into the Royal Family, according to a royal commentator. Prince Philip, who passed away in 2021, was said to be "wary" of the former actress from Suits and saw parallels with Wallis Simpson, the wife of the former King Edward VIII, who became the Duke of Windsor when he abdicated the throne in 1936.The comparison between Meghan and Wallis Simpson, both American divorcees when they wed into the royals, has been drawn before, but it's claimed that Philip took it a step further by bestowing a nickname on Meghan, though he never used it in her presence.
Even though the Grand National Festival will take place at Aintree Racecourse on Saturday, 13 April, it is not expected that King Charles will be in attendance as he continues to focus on his recovery following his cancer diagnosis.

Every wedding anniversary is special but for King Charles and Queen Camilla this week’s milestone date will bring with it added poignancy and a time for reflection.
