Queen Elizabeth II would go “weeks” without seeing her husband, Prince Philip, a new book titled, “Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait,” claims.

The sparse meetings began when the Duke of Edinburgh retired in 2017, according to an excerpt of the upcoming biography obtained by the Daily Mail on Friday.

However, author Gyles Brandreth reportedly also notes that the married couple kept in contact during that time by speaking “regularly” on the phone.

According to the book, Her Majesty understood that her and her husband’s arrangement might seem odd to some, but reportedly knew that Philip did not want “to be fussed over” and wished to “see out his days in his own way.”

Five years after his retirement, the Queen’s longtime spouse died in April 2021.

Brandreth’s book reportedly also reveals that Queen Elizabeth II had been determined to be by Philip’s side when he passed as they had found a new appreciation for each other during the pandemic lockdown in 2020.

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the couple — who were married for 73 years — reportedly spent more time together in Scotland and at Windsor Castle.
