The Queen stoically returned to royal duties yesterday, four days after the death of her husband the Duke of Edinburgh.

It comes after her husband of 73-years, Prince Philip, passed away aged 99 on Friday at Windsor Castle.

That is the stiff upper lip attitude I love. Earl Peel is a direct descendent of Sir Robert Peel. Peel was Prime Minister during the 1840. Looks like the Peel family climbed up the pole from Baronet to Earl.

i have no doubt it helps the Queen stay on an even keel to be helping others by lending her presence. and i imagine she had a personal interest in honoring this individual. she continues to set the best possible example.

They are her family. She has to make the best of the situation. The stiff upper lip endurance is what once made Britain Great.
I hope she outlives her dipstick son Bonnie Prince Charlie.

I'm not a big Royalist, but you gotta hand it to the lady.
She's got bigger stones than most of her male heirs.
