Royals Philip of Edinburgh: the hedonist and womanizer who understood that his role was to inseminate the queen and take a step back

London
is preparing to welcome a good bouquet of royals on Tuesday who will attend a solemn mass of thanksgiving in memory of Prince Philip,
the husband of the Queen of England who died in April 2021
at the age of 99. .
His death coincided with one of the worst waves of the coronavirus pandemic in the United Kingdom, so only 30 people could attend his funeral in
the imposing St. George's Chapel in Windsor.
That did not leave a good taste in the monarch's mouth, who had the thorn stuck that her husband had not had a farewell at the height of his rank.
And, for this reason, months ago this ceremony began to be organized, which
will take place in Westminster Abbey.
What they probably did not count on in the Palace is that this new great day of exaltation of the British monarchy is once again surrounded by
controversies and factors of concern for the institution
.
The Queen of England with the Duke of EdinburghGTRES
To begin with, what worries the most is the possibility that the queen herself ends up not attending mass.
Since Christmas, her health has suffered, so she has hardly participated in official events.
Buckingham has done everything possible to lower the alarms.
And this week Elizabeth II has been seen looking very good both at the presentation of an exhibition of
porcelain objects in Windsor
and fulfilling her obligations as head of state receiving the credentials of new ambassadors, yes, telematically.
What she would suffer from is a significant mobility problem.
And, apparently, the sovereign would not want to be seen in a wheelchair.
The presence in Westminster of Prince Andrew is also uncomfortable.
It will be his first public appearance, and surrounded by much of the European royalty, since he reached a million-dollar out-of-court settlement to settle Virginia Giuffre's lawsuit for sexual abuse.
The one who has decided not to go to London to honor his grandfather is Prince Harry, increasingly estranged from the royal family, in this case citing a disagreement with the
British Government about the police device that ensures his safety
in territory English.
Despite everything, Tuesday's promises to be the first great meeting of royalty since the outbreak of the covid pandemic.
The last time so many crowned heads were cited was in January 2020 on the occasion of the event for the
75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
Representatives of all the European royal families will be present at the thanksgiving mass for the Duke of Edinburgh, including the King and Queen of Spain, Don Felipe and Doña Letizia.
Inevitable is the curiosity for what
could be the first meeting between her and Marie-Chantal, wife of Pablo de Grecia.
