On Friday, December 25, Queen Elizabeth II recorded a new Christmas greeting. It showed the table on which one usually stands as part of a photograph of the entire royal family. Why did the Queen only show a photo of Prince Philip this time? Tells 24tv.
Queen Elizabeth II recorded her traditional New Year's address to the British and her Merry Christmas greetings. She usually has photographs of all the members of the royal family on her desk. But this time there was only a photograph of her husband, Prince Philip.
Last year, there were several photographs on the Queen's table: with her father, King George VI, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla, as well as Prince William with Kate Middleton and their children. Then everyone was surprised by the absence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but at that time the couple announced that they would abdicate the duties of the royal family.

However, this year everyone was even more surprised by the choice of Queen Elizabeth II. On her desk was only a photograph (which was not yet online) of her husband, 99-year-old Prince Philip. The publication reports that this has its own reason.
During the coronavirus pandemic and self-isolation, Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth were delighted that they could now spend so much time together, which they had previously been unable to because of their busy work schedule. Therefore, the royal couple were together as often as never before, and the prince gave the queen a "second wind" and strength to continue their activities after Brexit.
“Everyone who has seen her recently says that the queen seems to be given a new lease of life because she loved the opportunity to spend time with Philip again. Obviously, she was very worried about the nation during the pandemic, but those around them saw how amazing it was for them to be together, ”wrote The Sun.
Also, the couple became much closer, they had the opportunity to relax after long trips that separated them.
