According to the Times of Malta, Queen Elizabeth along with Prince Philip, Prince Charles, and the Duchess of Cornwall will head to Malta in November for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). CHOGM will be held November 27-29. This will surely be a special visit for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip as this is the country that they called home early on in their marriage from 1949-1951.
The Queen and Prince Philip greeted well-wishers as they arrived for a Sunday church service at St. Mary Magdalene in Sandringham village. As mentioned in an earlier post, other members of the royal family will begin arriving this week.
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have arrived in Sandringham for the Christmas holiday. They surprised passengers and took the 10:44 train from London’s King Cross to Kings Lynn. All of the other senior royals, including the Cambridges, are expected to join the monarch in the next few days.
Sixty-six years ago today, Princess Elizabeth, now known as Queen Elizabeth, married Philip Mountbatten, now Prince Philip and the Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen was 21 years old and the Duke of Edinburgh was 26 when they exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey in 1947.
