Queen and Prince Philip kept their engagement 'hidden for almost a year' because of King

Last weekend, the nation united for a four-day bank holiday filled with joyous celebrations to mark the monarch's Platinum Jubilee.

But as the Queen joined the working royals on the balcony and wave to the people she's served for 70 years, there was one person notably missing - Prince Philip.
