Today’s #DailyMail is a masterclass: 144 pages of stunning coverage - news, commentary, features and picture specials.
I also reveal how the Queen was comforted within hours of her husband’s passing by the Duke of York, the Earl of Wessex and, later, Prince Charles......
A source close to Prince Charles tells me it was a ‘small comfort’ that he and his father had been in regular contact. ‘All the things that needed to be said, had been said. There was genuine love, affection and understanding there. Which is all anyone holds dear at the end.’
Above all, I would read Richard Kay’s exquisitely poignant account of Philip’s last weeks and months. It will bring a tear to your eye and a smile to your face. This is what quality journalism and knowing your subject is about.
We will find out later today what the duke’s revised Covid-appropriate funeral plans are. But one thing will not change.
The Queen has always wanted to be buried alongside her beloved husband, parents and sister in the tiny George VI Memorial Chapel adjacent to St George’s Chapel
As a result, Philip’s coffin will be placed in the Royal Vault at St George’s Chapel until the Queen passes.
He will then be buried with his wife in the memorial chapel, their coffins interred together, forever.
