Drottningen återupptog arbetet efter fyra dagar

Fyra dagar efter prins Philips död har drottning Elizabeth återupptagit sina officiella plikter. Det rapporterar Sky News.

Hon höll en audiens för en av hovets högsta tjänstemän, earlen William Peel, som avslutade sitt uppdrag som Lord Chamberlain.

Peel skulle egentligen ha slutat tidigare, men han åtog sig som sin sista uppgift att ta hand om planeringen av prins Philips begravning, skriver Expressen.
