Queen followed Philip's 'famous' mantra until she died, says royal expert

A royal expert has said that the Queen followed her husband's 'famous' mantra until her last days, and that she never fully recovered from his death. Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, famously said that he wanted to 'get on with it' and that he was 'quite ready to die' in his final days.

Previously, Her Majesty described the 'huge void' the death of her husband had left in her life, but she remained " incredibly stoic" despite the "terrible loss", according to Prince Andrew. Now, royal expert Duncan Larcombe has said that he believes Queen Elizabeth II adopted Prince Philip's mantra in her final days.
