Royal expert Katie Nicholls tells ET that Queen Elizabeth II’s 95th birthday on Wednesday was a private, ‘somber’ affair. Following the death of husband Prince Philip, it was the first time in 73 years that the Queen didn’t have the Duke of Edinburgh by her side. In addition, Buckingham Palace opted not to release their traditional portrait of the Queen on her birthday. While Prince Harry returned to the U.S. on Tuesday, Nicholls believes he most likely made an effort to speak with his grandmother before leaving.
