Despite pleas from officials, crowds keep gathering at palaces to honour Duke of Edinburgh and show support for mourning Queen

Members of the public leave floral tributes to Prince Philip, Duke Of Edinburgh, outside of Windsor Castle in England on April 11, 2021.British authorities have implored people to stay away from royal palaces as they mourn the death of Prince Philip in this time of COVID-19, but the crowds keep coming. Not just to honour him, but to support Queen Elizabeth, who lost her husband of 73 years.

The mix of people included children, seniors, Sikhs and the children of African immigrants. A cross-section of British society and admirers from abroad also descended on Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle on Saturday. They laid bouquets at the gates, offered prayers or just paused for a moment of reflection as they remembered a man who dedicated much of his life to public service.

Meanwhile, the death of Philip has left a “huge void” in Queen Elizabeth’s life, their son Andrew, Duke of York, said on Sunday. Andrew has rarely been seen in public since he stepped down from official duties in 2019 over the controversy surrounding his association with the late disgraced U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein.
