Her Majesty is leaving Buckingham Palace, her official London home, for Windsor after her husband’s death.

Prince Philip’s funeral was held yesterday (Saturday, April 17) in St George’s Chapel in Windsor, following the Duke of Edinburgh’s passing last Friday (9 April) at the age of 99.

According to royal insiders, the Queen could permanently relocate to Windsor Castle in order to be closer to Prince Philip.

The Queen and Prince Philip have both loved Windsor Castle, and now the window wishes to remain where her husband is laid, according to the Daily Express.

The Queen is preparing to leave Buckingham Palace, her official residence since 1953 and the birthplace of Prince Charles and Prince Andrew. According to reports, royal staff have been told that, while the Queen will continue to spend the summer at Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Christmas at Sandringham House, she will be permanently based at Windsor Castle.

Although the queen is expected to travel to London for work, it is doubtful that she will spend another night at the palace.

In the aftermath of her husband’s passing, Windsor Castle will undoubtedly bear much more significance for Her Majesty.

The Queen is likely to have a special place in her heart for Windsor: it is where her 73-year-old spouse, Prince Philip, is buried, and it is where the royal couple used to spend every Easter together before opting to isolate there after the first national lockdown was declared in March 2020.

During WWII, the Queen and her sister looked after the Castle’s East Terrace Garden, which was repaired by the Duke himself.

The royal couple, along with 20 team members who have self-isolated from their own families to look after the royals and the castle’s 1,000 quarters, have spent the majority of the pandemic at the estate.

Philip’s coffin was installed inside the Queen’s Private Chapel at the castle after he oversaw the reconstruction process following a fire on the grounds in 1992, which he designed himself.

Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the Duke of Edinburgh lived at Wood Farm Cottage on the Sandringham estate, whilst the Queen remained at Buckingham Palace owing to her job obligations. However, after lockdown limits were imposed again in November 2020, Prince Philip returned to Windsor Castle on purpose to spend the second lockdown with The Queen, commemorating their 73rd wedding anniversary on November 20.

According to Vanity Fair, the royal couple relished the opportunity to spend more time together during lockdown, taking daily walks around the private gardens and dining together each evening.

Prince Philip died peacefully in Windsor, and it was one of his wishes to be buried there.

According to aides, the Queen intends to stay there forever since it is where she feels “most comfortable.”

‘The kindest thing to do is to allow her to live where she feels most comfortable,’ a source told the Express.

One of London’s most famous tourist attractions is Buckingham Palace, which is known around the world for reflecting the monarchy.

Since 1837, monarchs have resided at the Palace.
