Discover the symbolic place Queen Elizabeth spent her 96th birthday
On the eve of her 96th birthday, Queen Elizabeth was spotted departing Windsor Castle in the backseat of a car, glasses on, her hair in its signature white coif. Her destination? Sandringham in Norfolk, around 100 miles away.say she will stay not in the grand Jacobean main house, but rather, at a smaller dwelling on the grounds called Wood Farm Home.
The five-bedroom cottage was Prince Philip’s preferred residence during the last years of his life. After retiring from his role as senior royal, he spent much of his time at Wood Farm carriage driving, painting, and enjoying a country lifestyle. The queen has mentioned in the past that her husband “loved” Norfolk, as the “sea was so close.” So her choice to spend her 96th birthday—only her second after Phillip’s passing–at his favorite place is indeed a poignant one.
