At 99 years old, it is understandable that Prince Philip has retired from his royal public duties and spends most of his time in private. During the pandemic, he isolated himself alongside Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, but while Philip made efforts to remain in the public eye, recording televised addresses and posting photos of his work from home, Philip has been left on the sidelines. , until last week, that’s it.
First, Philip attended his granddaughter, Princess Beatrix’s royal wedding, last Friday (in a safe and socially detached way, of course), and appeared in one of the few published photos of the event. And then on Wednesday, he had a public engagement of his own: a ceremony held to mark the transfer of one of Philip’s military titles, Colonel-in-Chief of Rifles, to the Duchess of Cornwall.
The Prince has held the post since the Rifles were formed in 2007, but has served as Colonel-in-Chief of the regiments that are now part of the Rifles since 1953. It makes sense that he passed this responsibility on to Camilla, she has been The Royal Colonel of the 4th Rifles Battalion since 2007.
The brief ceremony began at Windsor Castle, where the Band bugles and Rifle bugles called for Philip’s arrival. A short time later, she concluded at Highgrove House, where the duchess was marked by bugles. Watch the event for yourself in the video above.
