Happy birthday to the Queen: she turns 95 today
Today’s 95th birthday is a day of mourning for Queen Elizabeth, who is still in the saddle on the British throne but has been tried by the death 10 days ago of the almost centenarian Prince Philip, her consort and support for more than seven decades, against a backdrop of loneliness that has never been more evident than in these moments. The anniversary, according to the Kingdom’s media, will be without festivities and without family reunions, also because of the residual precautions of the Covid emergency, although her children and some of her closest family members are taking turns at her side: in particular Princess Anne, her second-born, the wife of the heir to the throne Charles, Camilla, and that of her fourth-born son Edward, Sofia, all of whom have already been vaccinated with at least the first dose.
