The Queen’s final words to her husband, Prince Philip, have been revealed.
The Duke of Edinburgh died on April 9, aged 99, and he was laid to rest at St George’s Chapel on Windsor Castle grounds over the weekend.
At the socially distanced service, where the Queen sat alone, the Duke’s coffin was adorned with his Admiral of the Fleet Naval cap, sword, and personal standard.

The Monarch placed a wreath on top which included a special handwritten letter.
It read: “In loving memory, Elizabeth.”
The Queen confirmed her husband had passed away in a statement shared on the Royal Family’s official website.
It read: “It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
“His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.
“Further announcements will be made in due course.
“The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss.”
The funeral, which was broadcasted on BBC, was watched by 13.6million people in the UK alone.
One of the big talking points was the fact that Prince William and Prince Harry reunited.
The brothers have reportedly been feuding since the Oprah interview.
In the tell-all, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, made a series of allegations against the Royal Family and claimed there were ‘conversations and concerns’ about how dark Archie’s skin would be before he was born.
But later on, Winfrey confirmed the concerns weren’t expressed by the Queen or Prince Philip.
She said: “He did not share the identity with me.
“But he wanted to make sure that I knew, and if I had an opportunity to share it, that it was not his grandmother, nor his grandfather, that were a part of those conversations.”
