For the Royal Family, April is a month of joy. In this warm, fresh and springy month, there are several important days for the royal family to celebrate.
On 9 April 2005, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, had a small wedding at Windsor Castle. However, on 9 April 2021, Prince Philip, 99, the head of the British royal family, passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle.
Buckingham Palace announced The death of Prince Philip through a statement. The statement declared: "It is with great sadness that Her Majesty the Queen announces the death of her dear husband, Her Royal Highness Prince Philip (Duke of Edinburgh). His Highness left Windsor Castle peacefully this morning, and we will announce further information in due course. The royal family joined people around the world in mourning his departure. ”
From then on, the date of April 9 will be fixed by history as the death day of Prince Philip. Wedding anniversaries (albeit second marriages) become a day of remembrance for my father, and for Charles, 72, it will become deep and painful.
Next, Queen Elizabeth II will celebrate her 95th birthday on April 21. Although every June in London the official birthday parade is held for the Queen, the Royal Army Parade. But usually, on the day of the Queen's actual birthday, the old lady would celebrate with her family. In the UK, a salute celebration is also held on this day to celebrate the Queen's birthday.
Last year, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Queen and Prince Philip spent their 94th birthday at Windsor Castle in a low-key manner amid cloud blessings from their children and grandchildren. However, on 21 April this year, the Queen is still in silence for the death of the Duke of Edinburgh. It's a little sad that the 95th birthday party could leave the British monarch unusually lonely.
Counting further down, Prince Louis will celebrate his 3rd birthday on 23 April. According to the custom, every year on the birthday of the three little ones in Cambridge - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, the official social media accounts of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will publish the official birthday portrait photos of the three babies to let fans know the latest developments of the cute baby. I wonder if this year will be the same as in previous years?
This April was unusual for Prince William and Kate Middleton. Ten years ago (29 April 2011), the couple, who had been in love for many years, had a fairytale grand wedding at Westminster Abbey. Just a few days ago, several British and American media were constantly speculating about how the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would celebrate this unusual day.
Now it seems that the two may only spend their 10th anniversary with the three cute babies in the family in the past. However, there is no doubt that the grief of having just lost a loved one is bound to make this day a little gray.
