Royal expert Katie Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight told Entertainment Tonight that the Queen “ultimately died of a broken heart” adding that the monarch was never the same after Philip’s death.

“Elizabeth wouldn’t be the Queen that she was without the support of Philip. He supported her in everything she did in life. Something in her died when he went,” Katie Nicholl said.

Prince Philip’s coffin was interred alongside Queen Elizabeth II’s in a private ceremony attended by only royal family members.

“The Queen had everything planned,” Katie Nicholl said.
