To celebrate with the Queen and her charming Prince, her grandson, Prince Harry, and his lovely wife, Meghan Markle, paid tribute to them with a sweet post on their official Instagram page.

The Sussex Royals shared one of the pictures taken during the wedding celebration of the Queen and Prince Philip, while they were seated in the Royal Carriage. In the caption to the post, Meghan and Harry wrote:

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip have celebrated many milestones together as a couple, but their 72nd Wedding Anniversary was celebrated with them being 110 miles apart.

This is because while the Queen is currently based in London due to her Working Week, her husband, 98, who has retired from royal duties, is at Sandringham in Norfolk.

Prince Philip has been resting at the estate's Wood Farm since retiring in 2017, which was renovated some years back to make it comfortable for him to live in.
