This year’s ascension anniversary is going to be the first the monarch will spend without her husband who died in 2021. 06.02.2022, Sputnik International
On 6 February, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II celebrates the 70th anniversary of her ascension to the throne. While the Queen typically chooses to mark the day at Sandringham, the estate where her father King George VI died, this year’s anniversary is going to be the first she will spend without her husband who passed away last year. Hello! magazine’s royal correspondent Danielle Stacey also observed that the Queen prefers to spend that day “privately, given that it also marks the anniversary of her father King George VI’s death”, and is “rarely seen in public on the anniversary of her accession”.
