Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her 95th birthday privately, just days after the funeral of her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Key points:
- Queen Elizabeth II, the world's longest-reigning monarch, turned 95 on Wednesday
- The Queen is reportedly spending her birthday at Windsor Castle
- There will be few celebrations as the royal family continues to mourn the death of Prince Philip
There were no public celebrations for the Queen's birthday, as the royal family marked two weeks of mourning.
Prince Philip, who was married to the Queen for 73 years, died on April 9 at the age of 99.
The late duke's funeral was held last weekend, with the royal family passing off several engagements.
On Wednesday, gun salutes at the Tower of London and at London's Hyde Park which usually occur on the monarch's birthday were cancelled.
The Queen will spend her birthday at Windsor Castle.
British newspapers have suggested that family members would be visiting the Queen over the coming days to ensure she would not be left alone while mourning her late husband.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman declined to comment, saying all family matters after the funeral would be private.

)The Queen's 95th birthday comes as the royal family continues to grapple with one of its greatest scandals in recent decades.
The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, accused his family of racism and neglect against his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
The pair made the claims during a television interview with American star Oprah Winfey in March.
There was intense media focus on Prince Harry at the funeral of Prince Philip, his grandfather, as it was the first time he had been with the royal family since the interview.
He was seen after the funeral talking to his brother William, the Duke of Cambridge.
