In February of 2022, she contracted Covid 19. During a chat with Entertainment Tonight, royal correspondent Katie Nicholl talked about how Queen Elizabeth fared after her husband’s death. Nicholl said that the mother of King Charles was ready to be reunited with her late husband. “I think she ultimately died of a broken heart,” she said. “She was never the same after Philip went.
They’d been together for 74 years. He was, she said, her strength and stay. He supported her in everything she did in life.” “I think it’s fair to say that she wouldn’t be the queen that she was without the support of Philip, and I think something in her died when he went,” the royal correspondent continued.
“She held on for as long as she could, did her constitutional role and swore in her new Prime Minister. She made sure she tidied everything up, and I think, in the end, she just wanted to be back with him, and I think that’s why we saw that double rainbow over Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.”
