Queen Elizabeth II attends Sunday with nephew, David Armstrong
19:00:00
Queen Elizabeth II was seen on Sunday to attend Mass with her nephew David Armstrong-Jones, a few days after the death of his father Lord Snowdon.
Like the previous Sunday, the 90 year old sovereign went to service this Sunday January 15th 2017 with her husband 95 year old Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The couple didn't attend to their usual St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, the royal couple attended the religious service celebrated at St Mary the Virgin Church in the neighbouring village of Flitcham .
For this Sunday outing in the rain, the monarch, who was sheltering under a transparent umbrella bordered by black, had opted for a purple mantle with black collar and gold buttons on a matching dress. She was wearing a hat coordinated with her outfit, stitched with black oak leaves.
While last Sunday Queen Elizabeth II was accompanied by her grandson Prince William, his wife the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Middleton family, she appeared this time alongside her nephew David Armstrong-Jones and his wife Serena. David is the son of her late sister Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, whose death was officially announced two days earlier.
Antony Armstrong-Jones had been created the first count Snowdon by Queen Elizabeth II in 1961. After his death, the title passed on to his son David, who became second count Snowdon. "The Telegraph" points out that Elizabeth II was always close to the children of her younger sister -David Armstrong-Jones and Lady Sarah Chatto and would have been "deeply saddened" by the death of Lord Snowdon. "However, it is not yet clear whether Her Majesty will attend the funeral of her former brother-in-law, which should take place in Wales," said the British media.
