Though it is the first time the Queen has been photographed working since the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral, on April 17, it is not the first time she has been back to work since his death.
The Queen stoically returned to royal duties just four days after the death of the Duke of Edinburgh on April 9.
On that occasion she attended retirement ceremony for the former Lord Chamberlain Earl Peel on Tuesday.
