Queen Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Philip, died on April 9, 2021, at the age of 99. At the time, Buckingham Palace revealed in a statement that Philip had passed away at Windsor Castle. However, a royal author has offered further insight into the former Duke of Edinburgh's death, tragically sharing that the Queen likely missed her husband's final moments.
Writing in his book, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, author Gyles Brandreth explained (via the Mirror), "The Queen was reported to have been at her husband's bedside when he died on the morning of April 9, 2021." He continued, "In fact, I don't believe she was."
