Losing the love of your life is undoubtedly one of the hardest things any human has to endure. I can't imagine dealing with the grief personally, let alone publically as well. However, as members of the Royal family know all too well, personal matters are rarely ever private.
Now, HRH Queen Elizabeth is speaking about her late husband Prince Philip for the first time in public since his passing.
The Royal Family announced the news on social media.
"It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh," the family's statement read.
The statement concluded: "The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss."
Hearts broke around the world for the family, and for HRH The Queen, who had been married to Prince Philip since 1947.
While attending the opening ceremony of the sixth session of the Scottish Parliament, the Queen recalled her "happy memories" in the country with Prince Philip.
"It is often said that it is the people that make a place, and there are few places where this is truer than in Scotland, as we have seen in recent times," she said.
"We all know of the difficult circumstances that many people have encountered during the last eighteen months. However, alongside this, there have been countless examples of resilience and goodwill."
I'm sure it's so difficult to be in Scotland without her late husband, but she still managed to give an inspirational message.
