16 months have passed since her death, on September 8, 2022. Elizabeth II, Queen of England, died at the age of 96 after 70 years on the Throne and celebrating her Platinum Jubilee in style.

As it happens, the newspaper says, it was Kate who decided not to move and stay at home with her three young children. A thoughtful absence that favored Carlos, the House and peace in the family in those delicate days. Below, image of the princes with their respective wives at the sovereign's funeral.
