QUEEN ‘HAD PIC OF PHILIP IN HER POCKET’ DURING FUNERAL
The Queen carried one of Prince Philip’s trademark handkerchiefs and a photo of them together in Malta in her handbag for his funeral, a royal insider has claimed.
Her Majesty, 94, kept both items in her handbag – an accessory she often uses to hold precious objects.
Both items hold sentimental value for the Queen and her marriage of more than seven decades to Prince Philip.
The white, folded square, inserted into the breast pocket of a sharply cut suit, was a strong feature of the Duke’s classic style.
And the couple kept Malta close to their hearts, the MailOnline reports.

With the congregation barred from singing during Prince Philip’s funeral due to coronavirus restrictions, a four-strong, socially distanced choir performed the music inside St George’s Chapel.
The quartet of singers – Tom Liliburn, Nick Madden and Simon Whiteley (who are lay clerks of St George s Chapel choir) and Miriam Allan (a soprano) – all live in nearby Horseshoe Cloister, forming part of what was an intimate and community-focused affair.
