The account captioned the photo, "This new photograph of The Duke of Edinburgh and The Queen was taken last week in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle to mark His Royal Highness’s 99th birthday tomorrow."
According to Town & Country, "For the dual portrait, Philip donned a Household Division tie, and the Queen wore a dress by Angela Kelly (her long-serving dressmaker) paired with the Cullinan V brooch. The heart-shaped diamond at the center of the brooch was fitting for the occasion."
The couple, who has been married for over 70 years, were photographed in front of Windsor Castle, where they are currently isolating.
Earlier this month, a source told the Times, "The Queen won’t do anything which goes against the advice of people in her [age] category and she’s going to take all the appropriate advice."
The source continued, "There are discussions about what we could and couldn’t do come October. We haven’t canceled a load of engagements, but nothing is going into Her Majesty’s diary at the moment. If there is advice in the coming months that it’s fine for her to come back to London, she may do that, but until that time, she’d want to be seen to be being responsible in her actions for the nation."
