The Queen has spoken publicly about Prince Philip for the first time since his death as she add
The Queen has spoken publicly about Prince Philip for the first time since his death as she addressed MSPs at the formal opening of the new session of the Scottish Parliament. Her Majesty reminisced over the 'many happy memories' with the Duke of Edinburgh in 'this wonderful country' during her speech in Holyrood's debating chamber at lunchtime on Saturday. The Duke died in April aged 99 and his wife has given a number of written tributes on social media and through official channels, but today was the first time she addressed his passing in person. The Queen, 95, also hailed the 'extraordinary contribution' those who helped battle the coronavirus pandemic had made over the last year and a half. But, sounding a note of caution, she called for world leaders to come together and seize the moment at the COP26 summit. Her Majesty, appropriately dressed in green, said 'the eyes of the world will be on the United Kingdom' when politicians meet for the climate change conference in Glasgow in November. She said parliaments across the globe had a key role 'to help create a better, healthier future for us all' as she addressed MSPs in Holyrood's debating chamber. The Queen was joined by Prince Charles and and Camilla - know as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland - as she marked the official start of the sixth session of the Scottish Parliament. She opted for a resplendent green coat while the Duke of Cornwall donned a tartan kilt and the Duchess wore a long green overcoat and matching beret. Her Majesty met with party and parliamentary leaders in the garden lobby ahead of the ceremony in the debating chamber. After the service, the Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall went to meet Scots who have been recognised for their contribution to communities during the Covid-19 pandemic.
