Speaking in a televised tribute to the late Queen, Camilla also described the Queen’s “wonderful blue eyes” but also shared how her gaze could be a little withering if you “dare question” her equestrian knowledge.The Queen Consort, who had known the monarch for several decades, said the Queen had a clear demarcation between her public duties and private life and admitted that her summer breaks at Balmoral in Scotland were a moment for “her enjoyment”.

No-nonsense Philip turned down the chance to use the title Prince Consort – which was given to Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert – according to correspondence by then-prime minister Sir Winston Churchill in 1954.

After the Queen's death, her son became King Charles III and his wife Camilla took on the title of Queen Consort - not Queen. Whilst they sound similar, the titles indicate a key difference.

When the Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip passed away last April, it was confirmed he would not be buried until the Queen's own death.
