Queen's funeral brings down curtain on new Elizabethan age

The royal couple's marriage remained a rock of solidity until the duke's death on April 9, 2021, aged 99.

In contrast, of their children's marriages, only Edward's has survived, with the high-profile separation of Charles and his wife, Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1992 being the darkest moment of what the queen called an "annus horribilis", which also saw Anne divorced, Andrew separate from his wife, and a serious fire at Windsor Castle.

Events in 1997 were even more challenging, however, when the fallout from the shock death of Diana in a car crash caused the biggest royal crisis since the abdication.
