The couplespent their 72nd anniversary apart—Philip is at Sandringham, Norfolk, about 110 miles from London, where the Queen is based as part of her working week. The monarch has duties in London, and Philip, who retired from royal duty in August 2017, has been resting at the estate’s Wood Farm. There, renovations were undertaken several years ago to make it easier to live in for a man of his age.
The Queen spent some of Wednesday holding audiences with the ambassadors of the Republic of Suriname and the Kyrgyz Republic.
