Amid ongoing speculation about Queen Elizabeth s health, the monarch attended a service of thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday in honor of her late husband Prince Philip .

It marked the first public outing in over five months for the queen, who arrived on the arm of her son, Prince Andrew, and using a cane. The 95-year-old queen had been plagued by health problems in recent months , including a bout with COVID-19 in February.

The disgraced Duke of York, who stepped back from his royal duties amid a scandal involving his relationship with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was given an extraordinary role in Tuesdays events. He rode in a car alongside the queen from Windsor, where she resides, to the abbey, and escorted his mother from a side door to her seat.
