Buckingham Palace releases photograph of royal couple locked down in Windsor Castle
Like most nonagenarians who have survived the UK’s coronavirus pandemic, Prince Philip’s birthday celebrations on Wednesday will be home-based and distinctly low-key.
But unlike many other 99-year-olds, the Queen’s husband will blow his candles out not in a care home or a modest bungalow, but in a castle with a 13-acre garden. No visits are expected from the rest of the royal family, with Prince Charles saying they had been getting by with Zoom calls.
