Queen drives out of Windsor Castle after Prince Philip’s funeral
As the royal family continues to mourn, the Queen was seen leaving Windsor Castle a day after Prince Philip's funeral.
The queen, 94, was seen driving out of the gates of the Castle this afternoon, where she had spent the night after the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral yesterday.
As she drove down the long driveway out of the castle and into the Windsor estate, she seemed to be wearing a headscarf, as she always does while behind the wheel, and was apparently accompanied by her beloved dogs.
It's unclear where she was going, but she may have been out for a stroll with her dogs.
The Queen was seen driving the same car before the funeral, allegedly to take the puppies on a sombre walk.
After the outbreak of the Covid, the Queen spent most of her time at Windsor with Prince Philip, and had been supported by a team of workers dubbed ‘HMS Bubble.'
