Britain’s Queen Elizabeth attended the traditional Easter service at Windsor Castle on Sunday, joining other members of the Royal family at St. George’s Chapel, where her grandson Prince Harry is due to marry Meghan Markle next month. The British monarch, wearing a purple hat and coat and a floral dress, was greeted at the chapel by the Dean of Windsor David Conner, who will conduct the wedding service on May 19. She was joined by her oldest grandson, Prince William and wife Kate, who is due to give birth to the couple’s third child this month, and other members of the royal family. The queen’s 96-year-old husband Prince Philip was absent from the service, as were Harry and his fiancée. Philip pulled out of the Royal Maundy Service at Leicester Cathedral in central England on Thursday because of a hip problem, according to a royal source. Queen Elizabeth, who will turn 92 on April 21, was presented with a bouquet of flowers when she left the service at her residence in the town located to the west of London. Earlier on Sunday, Kensington Palace said the prince and Markle had chosen a London florist beloved of the fashion industry to arrange the flower decorations for their wedding, Reuters reported. For the wedding’s venue decoration, Philippa Craddock will use a foliage from Windsor Great Park, including white garden roses, peonies and foxgloves. Craddock is known for her work with brands such as Alexander McQueen and Vogue magazine. The florist said: “Working with them has been an absolute pleasure. The final designs will represent them as a couple, which I always aim to achieve in my work, with local sourcing, seasonality and sustainability being at the forefront.” After the wedding, the flowers will be introduced to charity associations. Prince Harry, 33, and Markle, 36, have invited 600 figures to their wedding, but, the guests’ names are still undisclosed.
