On June 3, 2013, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II arrived at St. James’s Palace in London to attend a gala reception for the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB). Unfortunately, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh was unable to attend.
In a press release via Buckingham Palace it was announced that the 91-year-old duke was “unwell.” However, the duke will attend tomorrow’s service at Westminster Abbey commemorating the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation.
