Queen Elizabeth II makes first public appearance since Prince Philip's funeral

Queen Elizabeth II participated in her first public engagement on Tuesday since the funeral of her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip. Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, died at the age of 99 and was laid to rest at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle earlier this month. 

On Tuesday, the queen joined a video call with foreign diplomats — her first public appearance after the two-week national mourning period following her husband's death.  Photos taken from Buckingham Palace show the queen, who turned 95 last week, smiling as she held virtual audiences with Ivita Burmistre, the ambassador for Latvia, and Sara Affoue Amani, the ambassador for the Ivory Coast.
