The Queen has marked the end of her official two-week mourning period following the death of Prince Philip.
Before her husband’s passing, the Royal Family’s official social media pages had an image of Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh.
However, following his death, members of the royal family changed their avatars to their official coats of arms.
Now the mourning period is over, the Queen has made a subtle change to her profile.
Instead of reverting back to her previous profile picture, one was chosen of the Queen without Philip.
Her Instagram now features a close-up photograph of the Queen during a visit to MI5 in February last year.
Other members of the royal family have also followed suit and changed their pictures back.
While it’s a subtle change, it marks a nod to a new era for the Queen without her husband by her side.
How is the Queen coping?
The Duke of Edinburgh died on April 9 at Windsor Castle.
His death saddened royal fans around the world, and many worried about how the Queen would handle it.
However, a source recently said Her Majesty has been as strong-willed as ever.
A source told the Mirror: “It is of course what we have come to expect from Her Majesty, duty above all else and thinking of others despite everything, despite experiencing a devastating loss.
