Prince Philip, who celebrates his birthday on Wednesday, has been shielding with the Queen at Windsor Castle during the coronavirus lockdown.

The photo was taken in the castle's grounds during sunny weather last week.

It is the first public photo of the duke since he was seen leaving hospital in London on 24 December last year.

A very long life, hopefully, he has a wonderful birthday!

I think they both look great.

He will be 99 on Wednesday! I read that he and the queen will have lunch together in celebration but that he hates birthday parties and having a fuss made over him. So lunch it is. 99 years old!

They look exceptionally well.

I wonder if she misses being out in public?

[VaBelle35]

Just think of how much rest she is getting by not having to go out almost every day for some event.

I have a feeling she is going to lighten her schedule even more and do many events remotely now that they have the set up and she wouldn't have to travel.

I think she'll just keep the few very important ones and not go back to her previous schedule.

They come from hearty stock.

And they are pampered their whole lives with the best of care.

Love seeing their pictures. Thanks.

@Pearlee I'm nowhere near 99 and I'm not English royalty but the Duke and I share that sentiment!
