Countess of Wessex Tearfully Reveals Queen’s Strength and Resilience After Prince Philip’s Death

The Countess of Wessex, Sophie Wessex, was visibly emotional as she spoke to the media about the Queen's incredible strength following the passing of Prince Philip.

The 94-year-old monarch has begun a new chapter in her life without her beloved husband, who had been her rock throughout their 73-year marriage and her 68-year reign.

On Saturday morning, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex arrived at Windsor Castle in a blue Land Rover Discovery.

They spent approximately an hour with the Queen before leaving.

As they drove through the crowds outside the castle, Sophie was seen with tears in her eyes, expressing her admiration for her mother-in-law, stating that the Queen has been amazing.

Rhiannon Mills, Sky News' Royal Correspondent, reported on Twitter that the Earl and Countess of Wessex had driven past the crowds outside Windsor Castle.

Sophie, still emotional, conveyed her gratitude to the Queen through the car window, emphasizing once again how truly amazing she has been during this difficult time.

Prince Edward, the youngest child of the Queen and Prince Philip, was the first to arrive at Windsor Castle to provide support to his mother.

He made the short journey from his Surrey home.

Prince Andrew, who resides on the grounds of Windsor Castle, also arrived at 10am.

Prince Charles remained with the Queen until late into the night.

According to the Daily Telegraph, it is believed that the Queen was by Prince Philip's side when he peacefully passed away at Windsor Castle on Thursday morning.

The news devastated the monarch, who had been married to her beloved husband for 73 years.

Closer Weekly reported that the Queen has canceled all engagements as she mourns the loss of her husband.

Despite Philip's declining health in recent months, his death still came as a shock to the Queen and the entire royal family.

The Queen has been in contact with her four children, Prince Charles, Prince William, Princess Anne, and Prince Andrew, as well as her grandson, Prince Harry.

They are all said to be devastated by the loss.

Prince Andrew was the first son to console the Queen, followed by Prince Edward and then Prince Charles.

Prince Charles, who had a complicated relationship with his father, made the journey from his estate in Highgrove, Gloucestershire, to be with his mother.

According to a source from the Daily Mirror, Charles found comfort in the fact that he had been in regular contact with his father recently and had expressed everything that needed to be said.

He was also the only family member who was able to visit Philip in the hospital, having seen him just two weeks prior.

Friends of the family have revealed that their relationship had been strong and loving in recent years, dispelling any notions of strain.

Prince Philip's passing came as a shock to many, including the royal staff who believed he still had strength left in him.

Despite his ill health, there was a sense that the “Iron Duke” would make it to his 100th birthday.

A source told the Daily Telegraph that it was surprising news for everyone, highlighting the widespread belief that he would keep going.

Sadly, fate had a different plan.

As the Queen begins this new chapter without her beloved husband, she can take solace in the love, affection, and understanding that they shared.

Their relationship was a testament to their deep connection, which will be cherished by all who knew them.

Prince Philip may not have reached his centenary, but his legacy and impact on the royal family will endure for generations to come.
