After a loved one has passed, it can be hard to celebrate milestones like birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions. There will forever be something missing at these events, and it's hard not to spend these days in mourning.
In an effort to remember her husband on what would have been his 100th birthday, Queen Elizabeth is planting new life into the ground to honor her beloved husband.
Fans of the royal family were saddened by the news of Prince Philip's passing this past April, at the age of 99.
His wife, HRH Queen Elizabeth, was left widowed after being married for 73 years.
A milestone like a 100th birthday would be something the pair would have surely loved to have shared together.
Now, the Queen is marking her late husband's birthday by planting a new type of rose named after him.
The 95-year-old was gifted the flower last week from the aptly-named Keith Weed, President of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).
"It looks lovely," the Queen replied, as per Daily Mail before adding that the tribute was "very kind."
As fans of the Royal family may know, Prince Philip was a keen conservationist and took a deep interest in the management of the royal estates.
I can't think of a better way to pay homage to the Duke. What a beautiful tribute for the Queen to have close to her.
