Prince Charles sits next to his wife Camilla, Prince William next to his wife Kate Middleton.

As the queen sat alone, dressed in black and wearing a mouth mask, to many people she seemed lonely and gloomy. “Seeing the Queen sitting alone with her head bent is heartbreaking,” British journalist Dan Whitehead wrote on Twitter.

The picture will be recognized by many people.

Queen Elizabeth has been married to Prince Philip for at least 73 years. She will turn 95 on Wednesday.
